Diodes has announced the development of DiodeStar, a proprietary process platform for the manufacture of high-voltage rectifiers. The process is characterised by high voltage handling, soft recovery and fast switching. It will support the production of a range of high-voltage rectifier products for a variety of end applications, including LCD-LED TVs. The first device using the process is DSR8V600, a 600V, 8A rectifier targeted at LCD-LED TV power supplies. It is tailored for use as the boost diode in the PFC (power factor correction) circuits of single and dual stage SMPS (switched mode power supplies) up to 1000W. Optimised for PFC duties ithe rectifiers meet the requirements of the 80 Plus Energy Star standard.
