Description/Features
The 84CNQ center tap Schottky rectifier module series has
been optimized for extremely low forward voltage drop, with
higher leakage. The proprietary barrier technology allows for
reliable operation up to 125° C junction temperature. Typical
applications are in switching power supplies, converters, freewheeling diodes, and reverse battery protection.
125° C TJ operation
Center tap module
High purity, high temperature epoxy encapsulation for
enhanced mechanical strength and moisture resistance
Extremely low forward voltage drop
High frequency operation
Guard ring for enhanced ruggedness and long term
reliability
Low profile, small footprint, high current package
