The IXYS DSB40C15PB is a dual Schottky diode designed for applications that require low forward voltage drop and fast switching speeds. It integrates two individual Schottky diodes in a single, through-hole mounted (THT) package, allowing it to handle a continuous forward current of 20A per diode and a maximum reverse voltage rating of 15V.
Distinct Features of the Product:
- Low forward voltage drop (VF): Schottky diodes offer significantly lower VF compared to standard silicon PN junction diodes. This translates to reduced power dissipation and higher circuit efficiency.
- High surge current capability: The DSB40C15PB can handle short bursts of current exceeding its continuous rating, making it suitable for applications with inrush currents.
- Fast switching speed: Schottky diodes are known for their fast switching characteristics, enabling them to change states between conducting and non-conducting rapidly. This is crucial for applications involving high-frequency switching.
