What are the advantages and disadvantages of Schottky diodes?
Schottky diodes are very common in circuits. What are the advantages and disadvantages of Schottky diodes?
1、 Advantages of Schottky diode: the device itself has a high switching frequency, and its reverse breakdown voltage is relatively low. At the same time, due to the continuous improvement of technology and the use of new materials, Schottky diodes are full of vitality and strong competitiveness.
2、 Shortcomings of Schottky diode: In the process of operation, the reverse bias of Schottky diode is relatively low, while its reverse leakage current is relatively large, and it is easy to generate heat in the actual operation process, which will have a certain impact on the operation and efficiency of the device.
