What are the differences between Schottky diode and ordinary diode in application?

1、 The voltage drop of Schottky diode is lower than that of ordinary diode.

2、 Compared with PN junction crystal diode, Schottky diode has low switching voltage and small charge storage effect, which is suitable for high frequency operation.

3、 It also has the characteristics of low loss, low noise, high detection sensitivity, stability and reliability. It is used in microwave communication and radar for mixing, detection, modulation, frequency doubling, ultra-high speed switching, low noise amplification and so on.
