Description
STPS16H100CT is a dual center-tap Schottky rectifier diode rated at 100V and 16A, optimized for high-frequency switching applications such as SMPS, adapters, and DC/DC converters. Its Schottky barrier structure enables very low switching losses, making it ideal for high-efficiency power designs.
Features
- Schottky barrier technology → negligible reverse recovery loss
- Low forward voltage drop (VF)
- Low leakage current
- High junction temperature capability
- Avalanche capability specified
- Optimized trade-off between leakage and conduction loss
Design Notes
- Ideal for high-frequency operation (tens to hundreds of kHz or more)
- Thermal design is critical due to high current density
- Leakage current increases significantly at elevated temperature → consider in standby designs
- Use proper heat sinking for full-load operation
- Ensure reverse voltage margin (≥1.5× expected operating voltage)
How to Choose This Diode
- Use when high efficiency and fast switching are critical
- Suitable for low-to-medium voltage outputs (≤100V)
- Prefer Schottky over PN diode in high-frequency converters
- Evaluate thermal and leakage trade-offs in high-temperature environments
Typical Applications
- Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS)
- AC/DC adapters
- DC/DC converters
- Output rectification in flyback and forward converters
- Freewheeling diode in power circuits
