...employing the Schottky Barrier principle in a metal-to-silicon power rectifier. Features epitaxial construction with oxide passivation and metal overlay contact. Ideally suited for low voltage, high frequency switching power supplies; free wheeling diodes and polarity protection diodes. Typical applications are ac/dc and dc-dc converters, reverse battery protection, and "O-ring" of multiple supply voltages and any other application where performance and size are critical.
