Please note: As part of the Fairchild Semiconductor integration, some of the Fairchild orderable part numbers
will need to change in order to meet ON Semiconductor’s system requirements. Since the ON Semiconductor
product management systems do not have the ability to manage part nomenclature that utilizes an underscore
(_), the underscore (_) in the Fairchild part numbers will be changed to a dash (-). This document may contain
device numbers with an underscore (_). Please check the ON Semiconductor website to verify the updated
device numbers. The most current and up-to-date ordering information can be found at www.onsemi.com. Please
email any questions regarding the system integration to Fairchild_questions@onsemi.com.

Silicon Carbide Schottky Diode
1200 V, 5 A
Features
• Max Junction Temperature 175 °C
• Avalanche Rated 55 mJ
• High Surge Current Capacity
• Positive Temperature Coefficient
• Ease of Paralleling
• No Reverse Recovery / No Forward Recovery
Applications
• General Purpose
• SMPS, Solar Inverter, UPS

Description
Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky Diodes use a completely new
technology that provides superior switching performance and
higher reliability compared to Silicon. No reverse recovery
current, temperature independent switching characteristics, and
excellent thermal performance sets Silicon Carbide as the next
generation of power semiconductor. System benefits include
highest efficiency, faster operating frequency, increased power
density, reduced EMI, and reduced system size & cost.
