Zetex Intros ZXSDS2M832 Schottky Diode Pair

Zetex plc (Chadderton, Oldham) announced its miniature ZXSDS2M832 dual Schottky combination, which presents a typical forward voltage of just 600mV for a forward current of 1A. In the dual-die, 3mm x 2mm, micro-leaded package (MLP), the Schottkys provide a performance capability equivalent to that of much larger packaged parts. With a breakdown voltage of 60V and a continuous forward-current rating of 1.65A, the dual diodes will replace single-die, SOT23 components. Applications include forward converter topologies, diode bridges in portable products and dc/dc modules.

The exposed lead frame of the MLP package gives the dual-Schottky combination a thermal resistance superior to that of industry standard SMA and SMB packages, according to the company. A power dissipation of 2.4W can be achieved. The ZXSDS2M832 is the latest part to be added to the Zetex Miniature Package Power Solutions product line, and it also offers a reduction in off-board height.
