High-voltage rectifiers boost efficient power conversion

STMICROELECTRONICS STPS60SM200C 200V power Schottky rectifier diode can be used in high-current ac-dc power supplies delivering nominal dc output voltages in the 30-50V range. Its 200V maximum reverse voltage is compatible with known worst-case operating conditions and provides the design margins needed to withstand over-voltages and remain fully operational down to -40C. Product integrates two interconnected diodes in a three-pin package to provide a more energy efficient alternative to ultra-fast diodes, which typically have higher conduction losses.
