Overview
The STPSC8H065DI is an ultrahigh performance power Schottky diode manufactured by STMicroelectronics using a silicon carbide substrate. This 8 A, 650 V SiC diode is designed with a wide band gap material, enabling a Schottky diode structure with a 650 V rating. The Schottky construction ensures no reverse recovery charge and negligible ringing patterns at turn-off, with minimal capacitive turn-off behavior that is independent of temperature. This diode is particularly suited for use in Power Factor Correction (PFC) applications and enhances performance in hard switching conditions due to its high forward surge capability and robustness during transient phases.
