Overview
The STPSC20065D is an ultra-high performance power Schottky silicon carbide (SiC) diode manufactured by STMicroelectronics. This diode is designed using a silicon carbide substrate, which allows for a 650 V rating and superior performance characteristics. The SiC material enables the diode to operate with no reverse recovery charge and minimal capacitive turn-off behavior, independent of temperature. This makes it particularly suited for applications in hard switching conditions, such as Power Factor Correction (PFC).
