Schottky Barrier
Power Schottky diodes avalanche ratings specification
STMicroelectronics
delivers a complete range of Power Schottky with explicit avalanche
specification for precise matching design.
The avalanche rating temperature and pulse width derating curves
ensure a precise match between the power
converter voltage spikes and the capability of the diodes.
That’s why this key information provides designers with the
opportunity to choose between upgrading the efficiency by 2% or
reducing the BOM (bill of material) cost by 2%.
The fundamental key benefit relies on the freedom for designers
to choose between efficiency improvement cost saving.
