SiC Schottky Diodes Boast Zero Reverse Recovery Current

The electronic design has their covered

Cree added four new 650-V diodes to its silicon-carbide (SiC) Schottky diode family. The new offerings feature zero reverse recovery current, high-frequency operation with low EMI, temperature-independent switching behavior, reduced heat-sink requirements, and higher surge and avalanche capabilities. The 6-A C3D06065E, 8-A C3D08065E, and 10-A C3D10065E Z-Rec diodes come in compact TO-252-2 (DPAK) packages. The devices are automotive-qualified to AEC-Q101 for use in power factor correction and onboard power electronic-conversion systems.

The fourth new diode, the 6-A, 650-V C3D06065I internally isolated Z-Rec Schottky diode, is an alternative to full-pack diodes.
