STPS30120C
Power Schottky rectifier
Features
■ High junction temperature capability
■ Avalanche rated
■ Low leakage current
■ Good trade-off between leakage current and
forward voltage drop
Description
Dual center tap Schottky rectifier suited for high
frequency switch mode power supply.
Packaged in TO-220AB, TO-220AB narrow leads,
2
and I
PAK, this device is intended to be used in
notebook and LCD adaptors, desktop SMPS,
providing in these applications a margin between
the remaining voltages applied on the diode and
the voltage capability of the diode.
