SyncFET Schottky Body Diode

Characteristics

Fairchild’s SyncFET process embeds a Schottky diode in

parallel with PowerTrench MOSFET. This diode exhibits

similar characteristics to a discrete external Schottky

diode in parallel with a MOSFET. Figure 12 shows the

reverse recovery characteristic of the FDS6680AS.

diode reverse recovery characteristic.

Schottky barrier diodes exhibit significant leakage at high

temperature and high reverse voltage. This will increase

the power in the device.
