What are the functions of high and low current Schottky diodes?

With the outstanding performance of high current Schottky diode in power supply field. It is becoming more and more important in circuit design. We can predict that the future power products will develop towards high energy saving and low temperature difference. So what are the functions of high and low current Schottky diodes?

Main functions of high and low current Schottky diodes

Schottky diodes have the following advantages:

Schottky diode MBR series has extremely fast switching speed and very low reverse recovery time, which makes them very suitable for high frequency applications and can minimize switching loss. Schottky diodes all have very low forward voltage drop and lower heat dissipation than traditional diodes, thus reducing thermal and electrical conduction losses. Its high junction temperature capability improves the reliability at high ambient temperature or in applications where adequate cooling cannot be obtained.

Application of Schottky diode;

Typical applications of MBR series Schottky barrier rectifiers include uninterruptible power supply, high-frequency switching power supply and DC-DC converter, as well as used as freewheeling diodes and polarity protection diodes.

The main functions of Schottky diodes with large and small current in China are rectification, detection, freewheeling and protection. Most of the small current Schottky diodes belong to the SMD series, which have the advantages of small volume, high efficiency, low loss, flat feet and wide application range. Most of the high-current Schottky diodes belong to the plug-in series, with high efficiency and low loss, easy to tin on the plug-in, low VF, reliable and stable performance and wide application range.
