Silicon power diodes are suitable for switching power supplies

Silicon power Schottky diodes, particularly suitable for switching power supplies, have been introduced by America Semiconductor. The SD51 silicon power Schottky diodes feature a continuous forward current of 60A and repetitive peak reverse voltage of 45V.

Suited for high-reliability commercial and industrial applications, the diodes minimise conduction and switching losses in high-frequency power supply designs by delivering very low forward voltage drops and fast turn-off characteristics. 

As well as switching power supplies, the SD51 silicon power Schottky diodes are also suitable for converters, freewheeling diodes, and reverse battery protection. The Schottky diodes feature a non-repetitive peak surge current of 800A, forward voltage of 0.66V and operate over a temperature range from -65 to +150°C.

The SD51 diodes are supplied in a standard DO-5 stud-mount package and feature rugged construction and long-term reliability.
