Overview
The STPSC20H12G2Y-TR is an ultra-high performance power Schottky diode manufactured by STMicroelectronics. This 20 A, 1200 V SiC diode is built using a silicon carbide substrate, which allows for a wide band gap material design. This construction enables the diode to operate with a 1200 V rating and exhibits no or negligible reverse recovery at turn-off, along with minimal capacitive turn-off behavior that is independent of temperature. Housed in a D²PAK HV package, this diode is well-suited for applications in PFC (Power Factor Correction), EV charging stations, and DC/DC converters, facilitating compliance with IEC-60664-1 standards.
