60 V, 10 A common-cathode FERD pair in D²PAK
The STMicroelectronics FERD20L60CG-TR is a dual-diode array in a common-cathode configuration, built in the FERD (Field Effect Rectifier Diode) technology. The fast recovery characteristic (≤500 ns, >200 mA) suits it for output rectification in switch-mode power supplies, DC-DC converters, and OR-ing diodes where low forward loss and moderate switching speed are needed. The D²PAK surface-mount package (TO-263-3) fits high-current power layouts with a single tab for heatsinking.
Forward drop vs. leakage — the FERD trade-off
The 575 mV forward voltage at 10 A per diode reduces conduction loss in the rectifier stage. The reverse leakage is 970 µA at 60 V.
