STPS2L40
Low drop power Schottky rectifier
Features
■ Very small conduction losses
■ Negligible switching losses
■ Low forward voltage drop
■ Surface mount miniature package
■ Avalanche capability specified
■ ECOPACK2
(SMAflat and SMBflat)
Description
Single chip Schottky rectifiers suited to Switched
Mode Power Supplies and high frequency DC to
DC converters.
Packaged in SMB, low profile SMB and low profile
SMA, this device is especially intended for surface
mounting and used in low voltage, high frequency
inverters, free wheeling and polarity protection
applications.
