Advantages of low voltage drop Schottky diodes

Advantages of low voltage drop Schottky diodes.
With the development of the times, people's awareness of energy saving and environmental protection is enhanced, and the requirement of external power supply is getting higher and higher. more and more people have used low-voltage drop Schottky diodes instead of ordinary Schottky diodes. So relatively speaking, low-voltage drop Schottky diodes will be used more and more widely, slowly replacing the original ordinary Schottky diodes.
The low-drop Schottky diode is a kind of diode with the advantages of high switching frequency and low forward voltage. Its reverse recovery time can be as small as a few nanoseconds, and the forward guide voltage drop is about 0.4 to 0.6V, but the rectifying current of this diode can reach thousands of amperes, so it is suitable to work under the conditions of low voltage and high current.
For example, the output rectifier diode of the mainframe power supply of the computer uses a low-voltage drop Schottky diode, because the frequency of the switching power supply is very high, and if you use an ordinary diode when rectifying, it will cause diode loss to increase heat, and may even be unable to work at all. The reverse recovery time of Schottky diode is short, the speed is fast, and the positive guide voltage drop is also small, so it is often used as switching power supply rectifier.
