What this Schottky diode brings to an automotive BOM
The STMicroelectronics STPS2L60ZFY is a 60 V, 2 A Schottky rectifier in a SOD-123F surface-mount package, qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use. Its 750 mV forward voltage at 2 A keeps conduction losses manageable in DC-DC converters, freewheeling diodes, and OR-ing circuits.
Ratings that drive the design decision
The fast-recovery characteristic (≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA) is typical for a Schottky. The SOD-123F footprint is compact.
