650 V power Schottky silicon carbide diode
Datasheet - production data
Description
The SiC diode is an ultrahigh performance power
Schottky diode. It is manufactured using a silicon
carbide substrate. The wide band gap material
allows the design of a Schottky diode structure
with a 650 V rating. Due to the Schottky
construction, no recovery is shown at turn-off and
ringing patterns are negligible. The minimal
capacitive turn-off behavior is independent of
temperature.
Especially suited for use in PFC applications, this
ST SiC diode will boost the performance in hard
switching conditions. Its high forward surge
capability ensures a good robustness during
transient phases.
