DESCRIPTION

This center tap Schottky rectifier has been optimized for very

low forward voltage drop, with moderate leakage. The

proprietary barrier technology allows for reliable operation up

to 125 °C junction temperature. Typical applications are in

switching power supplies, converters, freewheeling diodes,

and reverse battery protection.
