Schottky pair for high-current rectification
The forward voltage drop is 790 mV at 30 A per diode, keeping conduction losses manageable in a 60 A total output stage.
What the forward voltage and current rating mean for your power stage
At 30 A per diode the 790 mV Vf translates to roughly 24 W of conduction loss per die at full load — a figure that drives the heatsink and thermal interface design. The common-cathode pair lets you parallel the two diodes for a single 60 A output or use them as independent rectifiers in a center-tapped secondary. The 16 µA reverse leakage at 100 V is typical for a 100 V Schottky of this current class; expect it to rise with junction temperature, so budget leakage power at the 175°C max junction limit.
Switching speed and recovery
Listed as fast recovery ≤500 ns at >200 mA, this Schottky's majority-carrier structure inherently eliminates stored charge, so the recovery time is negligible compared to a bipolar fast-recovery diode. The speed rating confirms it handles switching frequencies well into the tens of kilohertz without significant reverse-recovery losses — a common need in switch-mode power supply output stages and freewheeling paths.
