Features

STPS160

Power Schottky rectifier

■ Very small conduction losses

■ Negligible switching losses

■ Low forward voltage drop

■ Surface mount miniature packages

■ Avalanche capability specified

Description

Single chip Schottky rectifiers suited to switched
mode power supplies and high frequency DC to
DC converters.

Packaged in SMA and SMB, this device is
especially intended for surface mounting and
used in low voltage, high frequency inverters, free
wheeling and polarity protection applications.
