STMicroelectronics has a range of high-efficiency power rectifiers designed to help support energy-efficiency approvals, such as 80 PLUS.

The STPS50U100C rectifier diode can be used in the output of power supplies for adapters, TV and video products.

It is the first member of a new family of ultra-low forward voltage Schottky rectifier diodes from the supplier.

The forward voltage drop is the main source of power losses in power Schottky diodes used for secondary rectification, therefore minimizing this voltage drop is a key innovation driver.

The devices will handle higher power density providing a high safety margin to address a large scale of high-output power supplies, and will be available in compact, industry-standard packages. Package options will include TO-220 and I2PAK, with other styles planned to be made available in the future.
