The FDS8672S is designed to replace a single MOSFET and
Schottky diode in synchronous DC/DC power supplies. This 30V
MOSFET is designed to maximize power conversion efficiency,
providing a low r
includes a patented combination of a MOSFET monolithically
integrated with a Schottky diode using Fairchild’s monolithic
SyncFET technology.

Fairchild’s SyncFET process embeds a Schottky diode in
parallel with PowerTrench MoSFET. This diode exhibits similar
characteristics to a discrete external Schottky diode in parallel
with a MOSFET. Figure 14 shows the reverse recovery
characteristic of the FDS8672S.

Reverse Recovery Characteristics
Schottky barrier diodes exhibit significant leakage at high
temperature and high reverse voltage. This will increase the
power in the device.
