Subtag of semiconductor-diode
Schottky diodes application are similar to those of common PN-junction rectifier diodes, however with these pro and cons:
Pros:
- Smaller forward voltage drop for the same current level.
- Faster switching times.
Cons:
- Higher reverse leakage current, for the same maximum current rating.
- Lower reverse breakdown voltage.
