Working Principle of D6020L53

The Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD), also known as a Schottky Rectifier, uses the Schottky barrier between the semiconductor and the metal, created by making ohmic contact between the n-type and the metal. The rectifier is reverse biased when the source voltage is higher than the barrier potential. The current flows when the source voltage is decreased and reverse bias is removed. The SBD boasts lower forward voltage than a normal diode.

When the D6020L53 is forward biased, a depletion region is formed between the two junctions. The width of this region can be adjusted by varying the applied voltage. As the width of the depletion region increases, the electric charge stored in the depletion region increases. This increases the forward voltage drop of the diode.

The D6020L53 can handle high currents and produce low forward voltage drop. This semiconductor device will allow the current to flow in the direction of the arrow on the diode symbol. The current flows through it and is limited by the amount of voltage that can be applied.

In summary, the D6020L53 is a Schottky diode with a SOD-123 package form factor. It is used in a variety of applications, such as low profile electronic equipment, consumer electronics, battery chargers, telecommunications and automotive electronics. This diode has a rated peak forward surge current of 100A and can operate between -65°C and 175°C. The diode has a low forward voltage at low current levels and is also capable of producing high levels of current when a higher voltage is applied.
