Power Diodes
SiC Diodes: High-Efficiency, Robust Power Conversion for Industrial and Automotive Applications
Silicon Carbide (SiC) diodes deliver high-efficiency, reliable power conversion in demanding industrial and automotive environments. With temperature-independent turn-off, zero recovery switching, and an outstanding Qc × VF figure-of-merit, they maximize system efficiency. Merged PiN Schottky (MPS) technology further enhances robustness, enabling high surge current capability and superior thermal stability.
Recovery Rectifiers for Demanding Power Applications
Nexperia's 200 - 650 V hyperfast (trr < 30 ns) and ultrafast (trr < 80 ns) recovery rectifiers are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern power electronics. They offer fast reverse recovery, low leakage current, and high thermal robustness. These power diodes are optimized for use in switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), motor drives, welding equipment, UPS systems, and industrial automation—where efficiency, durability, and thermal stability are non-negotiable.

Clip-bond Flat Power (CFP) packages: Excellent thermal performance and compact footprint
The CFP package combines solid copper clip-bonding with a low-profile design (1 mm height), enabling up to 60% PCB footprint savings compared to traditional SMx packages.
Its low parasitic inductance and high thermal efficiency make it ideal for industrial power designs requiring fast switching, high surge robustness, and compact layouts.
