Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a Schottky and a fast recovery diode?
Schottky diodes have no reverse recovery time and lower forward voltage drop but limited voltage ratings (typically up to 200V). Fast recovery diodes have controlled reverse recovery and are available in higher voltage ratings.
How do I determine the appropriate diode for my SMPS?
Consider forward voltage drop (for efficiency), reverse recovery time (for switching losses), and voltage rating (with appropriate margin). For synchronous rectification, low forward voltage Schottky diodes are often preferred.
What is soft recovery in diodes?
Soft recovery refers to a diode's reverse recovery characteristic with minimal ringing and oscillation. This reduces EMI in switching applications and provides more predictable switching behavior.
