Features
■ Very low forward voltage drop for less power
dissipation and reduced heatsink
■ Optimized conduction/reverse losses trade-off
which means the highest efficiency in the
applications
■ High power surface mount miniature package
■ Avalanche capability specified
Description
Single Schottky rectifier suited to switched mode
power supplies and high frequency DC to DC
converters.
This device is especially intended for use as a
rectifier at the secondary of 3.3 V SMPS units.
