Vishay Semiconductors Power Silicon Carbide Schottky Diodes
Vishay Semiconductors Power Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky Diodes are advanced, high‑performance rectifiers designed to deliver exceptional efficiency, ruggedness, and reliability in demanding power‑electronics applications. Built on wide-band-gap SiC technology, these Vishay diodes offer virtually zero reverse‑recovery charge, extremely fast switching capability, and temperature‑invariant performance, making the devices ideal for next‑generation high‑frequency power conversion systems.
These devices support high operating junction temperatures up to +175°C, ensuring stable operation in harsh thermal environments such as industrial, automotive, and renewable‑energy systems. The positive temperature coefficient of forward voltage allows easy paralleling, improving scalability and thermal balancing in high‑current designs.
Engineered for durability, Vishay SiC Schottky diodes exhibit low leakage current, high surge‑current capability, and extremely low switching and conduction losses. These characteristics maximize efficiency in AC/DC PFC stages, high‑frequency rectifiers, LLC resonant converters, DC/DC converters, UPS systems, telecom infrastructures, server power supplies, and solar inverter platforms.
Available in a wide range of current ratings (from 4A up to 200A) and reverse‑voltage capabilities around 650V, these diodes provide flexibility across diverse power stages. D2PAK 2L (TO-263AB 2L) packaging enables seamless integration into small‑form‑factor designs or high‑power industrial assemblies.
Across the entire family, Vishay emphasizes long‑term reliability, offering AEC‑Q101‑qualified variants, RoHS‑compliant construction, halogen‑free materials, and UL‑approved module options. These characteristics make the diodes well-suited for mission‑critical applications requiring long service life, thermal stability, and outstanding efficiency.
