SIT10C065/SIT12C065 Silicon Carbide Schottky Diodes

The SIT10C065 and SIT12C065 by Diotec Semiconductor are two neighboring members of the 650 V single-diode family in TO-220AC. They offer 10 A and 12 A of average forward current, respectively. Both are ideally suited for high-voltage/high-frequency switching circuits, such as power factor correction (PFC), highly efficient solar inverters, or data server power supplies. Both devices feature a high reverse voltage of 650 V combined with an extremely low reverse recovery, also known as better discharging time. That makes the SIT10C065 AND SIT12C065 ideally suited for all applications where high voltage levels are switched at very high frequencies. In that case, switching losses are dominant, which calls for high-efficiency Schottky rectifiers. Silicon carbide wafer material overcomes the limitations of silicon-based Schottky diodes.
