SS28A is a common Schottky barrier diode, which is a surface mount device and adopts SMA package. It is widely used in modern electronic circuits due to its low forward voltage drop and fast switching characteristics.

Technical Parameters

  • Maximum reverse voltage (VRRM): 80V
  • Average forward rectified current (IF): 2A
  • Forward voltage drop (VF): Typical 0.85V (at IF=1A)
  • Maximum reverse leakage current (IR): 0.05mA (at TA=25°C)
  • Operating temperature range: -55°C to+125°C

These parameters indicate that SS28A is suitable for low-voltage, medium-current applications, and its low forward voltage drop helps reduce power loss.

Package

SS28A is generally available in DO-214AC (SMA) surface mount package,which is compact and easy to mount automatically. Therefore, it is suitable for modern high-density circuit board design.

Features and Advantages

  • Low forward voltage drop: reduces power loss and improves energy efficiency
  • Fast switching speed: suitable for high-frequency circuits
  • No reverse recovery time: avoids energy loss during switching
  • Compact package: suitable for miniaturization of portable devices.

Typical Applications

1.Power circuit:

  • Output rectification of switching power supply (SMPS)
  • DC-DC converter
  • Polarity protection diode

2.High-frequency circuit:

  • RF detector
  • Mixer
  • High-frequency rectification

3.Digital systems:

  • Logic circuit clamping
  • Signal shaping

4.Other applications:

  • Solar cell bypass diode
  • Battery charging circuit
  • Freewheeling diode in motor drive circuit

Summary

Schottky diodes have become an indispensable component in modern electronic design due to their low forward voltage drop, fast switching characteristics and compact package size. Understanding their characteristic parameters, application scenarios and usage precautions will help engineers make reasonable choices in various power management and high-frequency circuit designs.
