Directed Energy Inc. (DEI, Fort Collins, CO), a wholly owned subsidiary of IXYS Corp., announced that it has developed and introduced a family of high-speed, high-voltage, GaAs schottky diodes with fast recovery times. The new line offers unprecedented recovery time performance while exhibiting a low forward-voltage drop, making it suitable for high-frequency, switch-mode power supplies; high-frequency converters; resonant converters and other applications.
The portfolio contains products for currents of 4A, 10A, 20A, 30A and 50A, with voltage ratings of 250V. The devices can be stacked for applications requiring higher breakdown voltages. Each device contains three diodes in three different configurations: triple independent, triple common cathode and triple common anode.
