Diode/Bridge Rectifier

The Schottky diode uses the Schottky diode barrier principle, adopts barrier metal and epitaxial structure, and can produce an optimized forward voltage drop-reverse current trade-off. This advanced encapsulation technology can be used to achieve energy-efficient miniature, space-saving devices. Relying on a unique thermal design, Powermite provides the same thermal performance as an SMA in a 50% smaller footprint. Because of its small size, it is ideal for portable and battery-powered products such as cellular phones, cordless phones, chargers, notebook computers, printers, PDAs, and PCMCIA cards. Typical applications are AC-DC and DC-DC converters, reverse battery protection and "OR" operation of multiple supply voltages, and other applications where performance and size are critical.

The Schottky diode is suitable for use as output, freewheeling, protection and steering diodes in switching power supplies, inverters and other inductive switching circuits.
