Vishay Intertechnology Introduces New 103 Schottky Diode Telefunken Series
A new series of Schottky diodes providing superior capacitance, a low-forward-voltage drop, and a very high single-surge current rating was announced by Vishay Intertechnology Inc. (Malvern, PA). Devices in the Vishay Telefunken series will be used for MOS protection; for steering, biasing and coupling functions in logic-level applications where fast switching is required; in dc-to-dc converters; and in low-current power supplies.
The 12 devices included in the new 103 Series are offered in a range of breakdown voltages, from 40V (xx103A), 30V (xx103B) and 20V (xx103C), and in four standard package types: the DO35 (SD103x), MiniMELF (LL103x), QuadroMELF (LS103x) and MicroMELF (MCL103x).
Each of the new Schottky diodes features a low maximum-forward-voltage drop of 0.37 V at a 20mA forward current, and a maximum leakage current of just 5uA at a reverse voltage of 30V. Each device is rated for a high single-surge current of 15A and a typical junction capacitance of 50pF at a 1MHz frequency. An integrated protection ring guards against static discharge.
The unique high surge current/low voltage capabilities of the new 103 series complements existing Samples and production quantities of the 103 Series are available now, with lead times of up to 12 weeks for larger orders. Pricing for US delivery starts at $3.05 per 100 pieces.
