650V SiC Schottky diodes offer high efficiency and low figure-of-merit

January 8, 2026

The DSCxxA065LP silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes from Diodes Incorporated produce low switching and conduction losses, helping to improve conversion efficiency in power-supply and motor-drive systems.

The Diodes DSCxxA065LP series, which consists of six 650V-rated SiC Schottky diodes with forward-current ratings between 4A and 12A, offers a combination of low capacitive charge and a low forward-voltage drop. This combination results in negligible switching losses and reduced conduction loss.  

 

The DSCxxA065LP Schottky diodes are housed in a T-DFN8080-4 surface-mount package which incorporates a large underside heat pad to reduce junction-to-case thermal resistance, supporting compact and thermally efficient layouts. Each diode operates over a junction-temperature range of -55°C to 175°C, and has a positive forward-voltage temperature coefficient to enable parallel configuration of multiple diodes. 

 

The diodes are ideal for use in freewheeling and snubber circuits and as PFC boost diodes, and for reverse-polarity and electrical-stress protection.
