Performance characteristics of Schottky diodes

Schottky diodes are very common diodes and have a wide range of applications. The role of Schottky diodes in circuits can reflect the performance characteristics of Schottky diodes.

1、 The forward voltage drop of Schottky diodes is much lower than that of fast recovery diodes, resulting in lower power consumption and higher efficiency.

2、 Schottky diodes are suitable for operating at high frequencies due to their extremely short reverse charge recovery time.

3、 Capable of withstanding high surge currents.

4、 Previously, the reverse withstand voltage of Schottky diodes was generally below 200V, but now the latest technology can achieve products up to 1000V, and the market application prospects are very broad.

5、 The highest junction temperatures commonly seen in the market for Schottky diodes are 100 ℃, 125 ℃, 150%, and 175 ℃ (the higher the junction temperature, the better the product's high-temperature resistance). This means that working below this temperature will not cause failure.
