Comparing Schottky, Fast Recovery & General Purpose Diodes
Kingtronics International Company Limited—-Inspired by Innovation
When selecting diodes, engineers often face the choice between Schottky, Fast Recovery, and General Purpose Diodes. Each type comes with different characteristics in terms of switching speed, forward voltage drop, power loss, and suitable applications. Understanding their differences is essential for efficient circuit design.
Schottky Diodes
- Features: Very low forward voltage (VF), extremely fast switching
- Advantages: Reduced power loss, improved efficiency
- Typical Applications: Power rectification, DC-DC converters, high-frequency circuits
Fast Recovery Diodes
- Features: Short reverse recovery time, capable of handling higher voltages
- Advantages: Suitable for medium to high-speed switching with minimized losses
- Typical Applications: Induction heating, motor drives, inverters
General Purpose Diodes
- Features: Reliable construction, cost-effective solution
- Advantages: Ideal for standard rectification in low-frequency applications
- Typical Applications: Power adapters, low-frequency rectifiers, protection circuits
