650 V, 12 A SiC Schottky — zero recovery loss for automotive traction and PFC
Its zero reverse recovery time (0 ns trr) eliminates the switching losses that plague silicon ultrafast diodes.
A silicon carbide Schottky has no stored minority carriers, so there is no reverse-recovery current spike at turn-off. That 0 ns trr cuts the turn-off loss to essentially the junction capacitance discharge alone.
Package and footprint — PG-TO263-2
The AIDK12S65C5ATMA1 comes in a PG-TO263-2 (D²Pak) surface-mount package with two leads plus the tab. The tab is the cathode, the two leads are the anode.
No last-time-buy or phase-out notice is on record.
