Product with a 650 V breakdown voltage in schottky barrier configuration is realized with use of Sanken's next generation power semiconductor SiC (Silicon Carbide). 

The FMCA series diodes are suitable for continuous current mode PFC circuits. When replaced by 600 V breakdown voltage fast-recovery rectifier diodes, the device is capable of reducing power loss resulting from the recovery current. Therefore it has a large energy-saving effect. Also the downsizing of the equipment can be achieved with its high-speed switching capability.

SiC schottky barrier diodes contribute to minimizing loss in power supply, such as in servers which are increasing with the big data processing. It can also help downsize electrical equipment.
