The SiC diode is an ultra high performance power Schottky diode. It is manufactured using a silicon carbide substrate. The wide band gap material allows the design of a Schottky diode structure with a 1200 V rating. Due to the Schottky construction, no recovery is shown at turn-off and ringing patterns are negligible. The minimal capacitive turn-off behavior is independent of temperature. Especially suited for use in boot strap, snubber circuits, or clamping functions of SiC MOS-FETs, the STPSC2H12-Y diode will help designers getting the best possible performance of their controlled switches in all conditions. This rectifier will enhance the performance of the targeted application. Its improved creepage distance ensures the compatibility with industrial and automotive creepage standards.
