C3D series Silicon carbide Schottky diodes are high-performance power switching diodes designed and manufactured by Cree, Inc. They feature Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology, which offers superior performance compared to conventional Silicon diodes.
Features
The features of C3D series Silicon carbide Schottky diodes from Cree are:
1. High Performance: C3D series diodes have a higher thermal conductivity than conventional silicon diodes, which allows them to operate at high temperatures and handle high current densities.
2. Low Forward Voltage: The low forward voltage drop of C3D diodes helps to reduce power consumption and improve overall efficiency.
3. High Surge Capability: C3D diodes have a high surge capability that allows them to handle large current transients without damage.
4. Fast Switching Speeds: C3D diodes have fast switching speeds, which makes them suitable for high-frequency applications.
5. Low Reverse Recovery Time: C3D diodes have a low reverse recovery time, which reduces the amount of energy lost during switching.
