ASD Diodes

The flyback converter is the most commonly used topology for small and medium size power supplies. The Peakclamp is a clamping circuit, built on the ASD (application Specific Devices) technology, intended for protecting the primary switch against over-voltage spikes. It consists of a blocking 700V diode and a Transil™ with a breakdown voltage of 160V connected in series in a DO-15 axial package.
With a maximum continuous power dissipation of 1.5W for a lead temperature of 90°C, the device is well suited for state-of-the-art power supplies up to 25W (battery chargers, low power opened frame converters and adapters). This range of applications can be extended with the use of transformers with very small leakage inductance.
