The Schottky Diode in the SOD-323 package offers extremely low Vf performance. The low forward voltage makes them capable of handling high current in a very small package. The resulting device is ideally suited for application as a blocking diode in charging applications or as part of discrete buck converter or discrete boost converter. As part of a buck conversion circuit, a boost conversion circuit or a charging circuit the low Vf drop of the Schottky improves the efficiency of the overall device by consuming less power in the forward mode.
