Diode offers 1.5A current handling capability
Extending its family of surface mount Schottky barrier diodes, Toshiba has introduced a new device which it says improves forward voltage and reverse current performance.
The CxS15S30 SBD offers 1.5A and 30V maximum ratings for average rectified current and peak reverse voltage, respectively. Package options comprise a compact LGA type CST2C package (CCS15S30) measuring 1.6 x 0.8 x 0.48mm, and a standard SOD-323 package (CUS15S30).
The new diode is particularly suited to space limited applications where high current handling and low forward voltage characteristics are key requirements.
A low typical forward voltage rating of VF = 0.39V at 1.5A and the low typical reverse current of only 200µA ensures lowest loss operation in most common applications such as led backlight circuits or current backflow prevention in battery charging.
Featuring a total typical diode capacitance of just 200pF means that the CxS15S30 can also be used in general high speed switching applications.
