SiC Schottky for automotive power stages
The STMicroelectronics STPSC20065WY is a 650 V, 20 A silicon-carbide Schottky diode in a DO-247 through-hole package, qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive applications. Its zero reverse recovery time eliminates the turn-off loss tail that plagues ultrafast silicon diodes, which means this part runs cooler in hard-switched topologies like traction inverter boost stages, on-board charger PFC, and DC-DC converters in hybrid and EV powertrains.
Automotive-grade procurement gate
The AEC-Q101 qualification is the production release for automotive Tier-1s. The part carries the full automotive PPAP documentation package — control plan, SPC data, and lot traceability — which means a buyer can spec it into a production BOM without a separate qualification run.
