0.41V VF Schottky diodes in 0.32mm-thin package for battery operated devices

Central Semiconductor Corp has announced the CTLSH01-30 and CTLSH01-30L Low VF Schottky diodes in the low profile of 0.32mm TLM2D3D6 surface mount package. These new devices have a peak reverse voltage rating of 30V and a maximum forward current rating of 100mA. The CTLSH01-30 has a low forward voltage drop (VF) of 410mV at 10mA and a low reverse leakage current (IR) of 30nA, while the CTLSH01-30L provides an even lower VF of 300mV. Both of these devices are suitable for space-constrained designs requiring superior energy efficiency.

Central Semiconductor Corp says the CTLSH01-30 and CTLSH01-30L used in battery powered portable products such as mobile communications, digital cameras, laptops and other battery powered hand held products. Both diodes are used in power management applications including DC-DC conversion, voltage clamping, and circuit protection. The TLM2D3D6 package utilizes 67% less board space compared to the SOD-882L.

Availability and pricing: Pricing for the CTLSH01-30 and the CTLSH01-30L starts at US$0.12 each for 8,000 pieces on tape and reel.
