The STPS0520Z is a Schottky rectifier from STMicroelectronics. It has very small conduction losses, negligible switching losses and extremely fast switching speed. This diode is suitable for switch mode power supplies and high frequency DC to DC converters. It is packaged in SOD-123 and is intended for use in low voltage, high frequency inverters, free wheeling and polarity protection applications. Due to the small size of the package, this device fits GSM and PCMCIA requirements.
The document describes the STPS0520Z, a single Schottky rectifier packaged in SOD-123. It is designed for use in switch mode power supplies, high frequency DC to DC converters, and applications such as free wheeling and polarity protection due to its small size and fast switching capabilities.
