Silicon Carbide Schottky Diodes

Vishay silicon carbide Schottky diodes are well suited for demanding applications

Image of Vishay Silicon Carbide Schottky DiodesVishay Gen 3 power SiC merged PIN Schottky diodes are wideband gap silicon carbide SiC-based diodes. They are engineered for high performance and ruggedness, making them ideal for extreme high-speed hard switching over a wide temperature range. These diodes are particularly suited for demanding applications such as bootstrap and anti-parallel diodes in AC/DC and DC/DC converters.

Features
  • Low-profile, surface-mount packages: available in SMPD with a typical height of 1.7 mm and SlimDPAK with a typical height of 1.3 mm
  • High-voltage creepage distance: up to 3.7 mm, ensuring safe operation at high voltages
  • Improved VF and efficiency: achieved through thin-wafer technology, enhancing overall performance
  • Low VF x Q C: resulting in low power dissipation, making the diode more efficient
  • High operating junction temperature: +175°C
  • Reliability qualified: tested for 2,000 hours of high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB) and 2,000 cycles of temperature cycling (TC), ensuring long-term reliability
  • Positive VF temperature coefficient: facilitates easy paralleling of diodes
  • Temperature-invariant switching behavior: ensures consistent performance across a wide temperature range
  • D2PAK 2L package: features a molding compound with a high comparative tracking index (CTI greater than or equal to 600), enabling operation at elevated voltages per IEC 60664-1 standard
  • Virtually no recovery tail and no switching loss helps ensure efficient performance
  • Meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020, with a maximum peak of +260°C
  • MPS structure provides high ruggedness to forward current surge events
  • Meets JESD 201 class 2 whisker test to help ensure reliability
  • Material categorization for definitions and standards compliance
Applications
  • Bootstrap diodes: used in circuits to provide a higher voltage than the supply voltage
  • Anti-parallel diodes: used in AC/DC and DC/DC converters to improve efficiency and performance
  • Converters: ideal for use in both AC/DC and DC/DC converters due to its high-speed switching capabilities
