The STPS2530CG from STMicroelectronics is a dual common-cathode Schottky rectifier rated for 30 V reverse voltage and 12.5 A average forward current per diode. It is a fast-recovery device with a switching speed under 500 ns, making it suited for high-frequency rectification in switch-mode power supplies, freewheeling diodes in DC-DC converters, and OR-ing diodes in redundant power architectures.
Forward voltage and thermal budget
At 12.5 A forward current, the maximum forward voltage is 530 mV — a low-drop characteristic that reduces conduction losses in the rectification stage.
STMicroelectronics lists the STPS2530CG as obsolete.
