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