SI20C065CD2

Diode Arrays Overview

The SI20C065CD2 is a Silicon Carbide Schottky diode manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor. It features a dual common cathode configuration with a rated forward current (IFAV) of 2x 10 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) of 650 V. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage of 1.5 V at 10 A and 25°C, rising to less than 2.4 V at 175°C. Thermal resistance from junction to case is less than 2 K/W. Operating temperatures range from -50°C to +175°C for both junction and storage.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon carbide substrate technology for high-temperature stability and low switching losses
• Features a dual common cathode configuration suitable for synchronous rectification applications
• Provides negligible reverse recovery charge and capacitive turn-off behavior independent of temperature

Diode Arrays Applications

• Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuits
• High-frequency DC/DC converters
• Hard-switching power supply topologies

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant against the official datasheet before ordering, as suffixes may indicate different thermal or mechanical specifications. Confirm that the component meets standard commercial or industrial reliability grades unless automotive qualification is explicitly required. Ensure design margins account for the maximum operating junction temperature of 175°C.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high efficiency in hard-switching environments due to its minimal reverse recovery characteristics. Evaluate the thermal management strategy carefully, as the low thermal resistance requires effective heat sinking to maintain performance within the specified 175°C junction limit under full load conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to Diotec's Silicon Carbide Schottky diode portfolio, designed to replace traditional silicon counterparts in high-voltage applications. It supports modern power electronics trends toward higher frequency operation and improved energy density by reducing conduction and switching losses simultaneously.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference lists for verified substitutes. Ensure any replacement maintains the 650 V rating, dual common cathode configuration, and comparable thermal resistance values.
