STMicroelectronics announced the launch of its
high-voltage Schottky diode that will assist to increase the energy efficiency
and ruggedness of equipment such as telecom base stations and welding
equipment.
ST’s new 200V power Schottky rectifier diode, the
STPS60SM200C, will be used in AC/DC power supplies delivering nominal DC output
voltages in the 30-50V range.
Its 200V maximum reverse voltage is compatible with known
worst-case operating conditions and provides the design margins needed to
withstand over-voltages and remain fully operational down to -40 degrees C,
making it ideal for telecom base station sites anywhere in the world.
As one of very few 200V Schottky devices currently on the
market, the STPS60SM200C integrates two interconnected diodes in a three-pin
package to provide a more energy efficient alternative to ultra-fast diodes,
which typically have higher conduction losses.
Using ST proprietary process technology, the STPS60SM200C achieves over 2kV
ESD-protection, which is higher than comparable Schottky devices when tested
according to IEC 61000-4-2.
This provides increased assurance of survivability
against destructive threats such as high-voltage transients, significantly reducing
equipment down-time as well as minimizing repair costs.
STMicroelectronics recently announced that it worked
with Microsoft to enable ST’s NFC solution support for the upcoming Windows 8
operating system.
ST will demonstrate its NFC solution at the Microsoft
BUILD conference, September 13-16, 2011 in Anaheim, CA.
