Diotec's -3G Schottky Technology encompasses high power handling capability at small package outlines. It offers best state-of-the-art performance in the field of Schottky Rectifier. All our 3G Schottky diodes for Mobility Applications are available with AEC-Q101 rating.

Our new flagship for low power Schottky in SMD will be the SK34SMA-3G. It features a very low forward voltage and a low leakage current, and is thus perfectly suited for all kind of polarity protection or as an output rectifier in AC/DC or DC/DC converters.

Proof for its superior performance are these typical, application oriented parameters:
Vf < 0.32 V @ 1 A / 75°C
Ir < 120 µA @ 10 V / 75°C
Cj ~ 90 pF @ 4 V

Electronic systems for Mobility and Automotive embraces various applications such as powertrain, chassis control, body electronics, exterior and interior lighting or battery management of full electric vehicles. One of the common challenges in mobility electronic systems are the demand for power efficient, miniaturized and AEC-Q101 grade components made by innovative technology.

The SK34SMA-3G-AQ is currently under AEC-Q101 qualification; we expect completion within the 3rd quarter of this year.

Our actual -3G Schottky portfolio includes Rectifier Diodes with (Very) Low Forward Voltage Drop, reverse voltages from 20V to 45V and forward current ratings from 0.5A to 30A. A new flyer shows dedicated Schottky Diodes for Mobility Applications. If you prefer reading a hardcopy, you can order it here.

Main Features of -3G Schottky Technology:
- Very Low Forward Voltage
- Low Reverse Current
- High Power Dissipation
- High ESD Robustness
- Energy Savings
- Available with AEC-Q101 grading

In our May newsletter we will introduce -3G Schottky devices for Energy Applications.

PCIM Europe will take place from May 7 to 9 in Nuremberg. Diotec once again will be part of the world's leading exhibition and conference for power electronics, intelligent motion, renewable energy and energy management.

This year's topic of our booth will be our 3rd Generation Schottky Technology. You won't miss it, look out for large 3G Schottky logos. Stop by for a visit in hall 9 at booth 515 if you want to learn more about our 3G Schottky Technology. We might have the one or other nice giveaway waiting for you. Of course, you are also welcome if you just want to stop by for a cup of coffee.

Another entertaining fact on our booth will be our live demos. They are divided in our five market segments and applications: Lighting, Consumer, Mobility, Energy and Industrial. Every area will have a demo board on which the exhibition visitors can see and test by themselves how our diodes and rectifiers work.

Last but not least, we would like to invite you to our presentation "Shifting the Industry Standard on Schottky Diodes to a New Era: 3G Technology Reduces Power Losses by 20%" at the Exhibitor Forum in hall 7, stand 507 on Wednesday, May 8 from 1:20pm to 1:40pm. Still need a free PCIM entrance ticket? Contact us!

The California Proposition 65 is "The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 by the State of California (USA)". Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals in general by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures, for example in consumer products.

Diotec's products are not intended to be sold to end-users, as such we are not subject to California Proposition 65. However, as a Germany based company subject to the most strict European environmental legislations, we take our responsibility in the supply chain very serious. We inform therefore our customers with our Declaration about potential exposures by our components during or after use in their devices sold to their end-users. You can download the whole Declaration here.

Diotec's -3G Schottky Technology encompasses high power handling capability at small package outlines. It offers best state-of-the-art performance in the field of Schottky Rectifier.

Example PPS1545-3G: Vf < 0.50V @ 15A, Ir < 150µA @ 45V, Cj typ. 720pF @ 4V
Industry Standard in Trench-MOS: Vf < 0.58V @ 15A, Ir < 1500µA @ 45V, Cj typ. 2200pF @ 4V

The Industrial Electronics embraces diverse applications, which are upgraded on a daily basis with new, intelligent and safer technologies. One of the common challenges in such industrial electronic systems are the demand for power efficient, miniaturized industrial grade components made by innovative technology.

electronica China 2019 was taking place from March 20 to 22 at Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Diotec once again took part at the leading trade fair for the electronics industry in Asia.

The live-demo at our booth, where we showed a low device count power supply for micro controllers and sensors, attracted great interest among the exhibition visitors. They could convince themselves from the reliable function of this design idea, and could adjust various input and output voltages.

Under the slogan "Planet e: Bringing the future to the world", electronica China 2019 focused on six key industrial trends in China: Future Automotive, Smart Factory, AI, IoT, World Debut and China Force. It presented the breakthroughs in the application of electronic technology.

The next electronica China will take place in Shanghai on March 18–20, 2020.

In today’s consumer and automotive electronics, the role of ESD protection is imperative for ensuring a system’s robustness under harsh transient conditions at system level. Diotec adds, for these applications, an ESD protected diode to its portfolio of Standard SMD rectifiers - a new member of Protectifiers® family!

The SE1J comes in a flat SOD-123 package, and features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600V with 1A of average forward current rating. It ensures robust ESD immunity up to ± 25 kV as specified for air discharge in compliance with IEC 61000-4-2 Industry standard. This device is well suited for use in applications like 50/60 Hz mains protection, power supplies, polarity protection and many more. For more information please check the data sheet.
