STPS1545C
Power Schottky rectifier
Features
■ very small conduction losses
■ negligible switching losses
■ extremely fast switching
■ avalanche capability specified
Description
Dual center tap Schottky rectifier suited for switch
mode power supply and high frequency DC to DC
converters.
Packaged either in TO-220AB, D
DPAK, this device is especially intended for use in
low voltage, high frequency inverters, free
wheeling and polarity protection applications.
