These diodes are manufactured using silicon
carbide substrate. This wide bandgap material
supports the manufacture of a Schottky diode
structure with a high voltage rating. Such diodes
exhibit no or negligible recovery characteristics.
The recovery characteristics are independent of
the temperature.
Using these diodes will significantly reduce the
switching power losses of the associated MOSFET, and thus increase the efficiency of the
overall application. These diodes will then
outperform the power factor correction circuit
operating in hard switching conditions.
