The B170-13 is a diode rectifier, specifically a single Schottky diode, originally manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It is from the Schottky family, which are considered the most efficient diodes for rectification. The device itself belongs to the STSP-series, which is the most advanced Schottky rectifier.

The B170-13 device features 25V reverse voltage and 0.13A average forward qurrent. It is a general-purpose device and can be used in a variety of applications. Most commonly, it is used in switching power supplies, DC-DC converters and voltage regulation systems. It is also suitable for commutator motor drive applications, where its low forward voltage drop and high temperature stability can provide high efficiency and reliability.

The B170-13 diode works on the principle of rectification by virtue of its construction, which includes two main elements. Firstly, it contains a highly electrically conductive element known as the anode, which can be thought of as a ‘biased amplifier’. Secondly, the diode has a center region known as the cathode, which serves as a conductor of the electrical current.

When an alternating current passes through the diode, it will not pass through the anode unless the voltage exceeds a certain threshold; the voltage that must be exceeded is know as the forward voltage drop (Vf). Once this voltage level has been exceeded, the diode will pass electrical current and the process of rectification is complete.

In summary, the B170-13 is a single Schottky rectifier with high temperature stability, low forward voltage drop and high efficiency. It is suitable for a variety of applications including switching power supplies, DC-DC converters and voltage regulation systems. It works on the principle of rectification, which entails a voltage threshold that must be exceeded before current can be passed.
