FAE Expert Insights
"The PSD2-120H040 is specifically designed for the emerging 800V EV market. The 1200V rating provides good margin for 800V battery systems with voltage spikes. I've used this diode in EV onboard charger designs where efficiency is critical. The zero reverse recovery is especially valuable in bridgeless PFC topologies common in EV chargers. The 40A rating handles the high currents in 11kW and 22kW chargers. Compared to silicon solutions, this diode provides 1-2% efficiency improvement which translates to faster charging and less heat. For 800V EV applications, this is my go-to diode. The TO-247 package is compatible with automated assembly equipment used in automotive production."
