POWERMITE®
Power Surface Mount Package
The Schottky Powermite employs the Schottky Barrier principlewith a barrier metal and epitaxial construction that produces optimalforward voltage drop-reverse current tradeoff. The advanced packaging techniques provide for a highly efficient micro miniature, space saving surface mount Rectifier. With its unique heatsink design, the Powermite has the same thermal performance as the SMA while being 50% smaller in footprint area, and delivering one of the lowest height profiles, < 1.1 mm in the industry. Because of its small size, it is ideal for use in portable and battery powered products such as cellular and cordless phones, chargers, notebook computers, printers, PDAs and PCMCIA cards. Typical applications are ac/dc and dc-dc converters, reverse battery protection, and "Oring" of multiple supply voltages and any other application where performance and size are critical.
