Using the Schottky diode potential barrier principle, a large area metal-silicon power diode is used. The device is suitable for low-voltage, high-frequency rectification, or applications employing freewheeling and polarity protection diodes, where compact size and weight are critical to the system. This encapsulation is also an easy-to-use alternative to the leadless 34 encapsulation style. Due to its small size, it is suitable for portable battery-operated products such as cellular and cordless phones, chargers, notebook computers, printers, PDAs and PCMICA cards. Typical applications are AC-DC and DC-DC converters, reverse battery protection and "OR" operation of multiple supply voltages, and any other application where performance and size are critical.
