FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Single Schottky rectifier suited for switch mode

power supplies and high frequency DC to DC

converters.

Packaged in ST Mite, this device is intended for

use in low voltage, high frequency inverters, free

wheeling and polarity protection applications. Due

to the small size of the package this device fits

battery powered equipment (cellular, notebook,

PDA’s, printers) as well chargers and PCMCIA

cards.
