FFSH20120A

FFSH20120A Application Field and Working Principle

FFSH20120A is a type of Schottky rectifier diode, which is widely used in automotive, commercial, industrial, and consumer applications. These diodes are highly efficient, fast switching, and have low forward voltage drop. They are also able to handle large reverse voltages. FFSH20120A diodes can be used in a wide range of applications such as TV remote control, power regulation, and protection circuits.

The working principle of a Schottky diode is based on the rectifying effect of a metal-semiconductor junction. In a Schottky diode, the metal is a metal interfacing with the semiconductor while in an ordinary diode,the metal is a metal interfacing with an insulator. This makes the Schottky diodes to switch faster, since the lower barrier height of the metal-semiconductor junction reduces the forward voltage drop from 1.2V to 0.3V on average.

Since FFSH20120A diodes are fast switching, low forward voltage drop, low leakage current, and high reverse voltage rating, they are extensively employed in high frequency applications. It is commonly used in high frequency switching supply, free-wheeling circuits, power supplies, and rectification. Automotive industry uses these diodes to provide over-voltage protection for car audio circuits, as well as protection circuits for various electronic systems. It is also used in the computer industry as part of a power supply and circuit protection.

FFSH20120A diodes are also suitable for power electronic converters such as AC/DC converters, DC/DC converters, and AC/AC converters used in renewable energy applications. And they are also used in various medical equipments and communication equipments.

FFSH20120A Schottky diodes provide the customer a much lower forward voltage drop than conventional diode making them more efficient and increasing their power ratings in the system. Besides, the diodes are designed for low leakage and fast recovery time for low EMI and reduced stresses on the circuit boards.

In summary, FFSH20120A Schottky diodes provide customers with high efficiency, fast switching, and low voltage drop. They are extensively employed in many applications like automotive industry, computer industry, medical equipments, power electronic converters and communications. And they offer customers with better power ratings and reduce the EMI.
