Description/ Features
Units
A
The 15CTQ center tap Schottky rectifier series has been
optimized for very low forward voltage drop, with moderate
leakage. The proprietary barrier technology allows for reliable
operation up to 150°C junction temperature. Typical applica-
tions are in switching power supplies, converters, free-wheel-
ing diodes, and reverse battery protection.
