    Taiwan Semi’s New 1,200V and 1,600V Rectifiers Meet Automotive-Quality Standards

    04/22/2025

    ­Taiwan Semiconductor, global supplier of discrete power electronics devices, LED drivers, analog ICs and ESD protection, introduces two new series of high-voltage rectifiers manufactured to AEC-Q101 standards and offered in automotive and commercial grade versions. The fast-recovery HS1Q Series (1,200V, 1A, high-efficiency) and the standard-recovery

    SxY Series (2A, 1,600V and 1A, 1,600V) rectifiers feature 175°C max junction temperature, high-voltage reverse recovery, low forward voltage drop and high surge current capability. The rectifiers’ DO-214AC (SMA) package is RoHS compliant and halogen-free. Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation is available.

    As surface-mount parts produced to meet AEC-Q101 automotive-grade standards, the HS1Q and SxY Series devices offer an intrinsically high-quality choice. They are ideal for bootstrap, freewheeling and desaturate applications for IGBT, MOSFET and WBG gate drivers used in electric vehicles and high-voltage battery systems. Other applications include alternative energy systems; grid-tied and smart grid systems; medical, industrial, UPS systems and plasma generators, smart electric metering and others.

    “We are one of the few suppliers offering AEC-Q rectifiers with ratings above 1000 volts that have a combination of low forward voltage—plus fast 75-nanosecond reverse-recovery time,” said Sam Wang, vice president, TSC Products. “The rugged nature of their construction allows the new HS1Q and SxY Series to withstand high inrush currents, which enhances reliability in automotive and non-automotive applications alike.”
