Description
The STTH8BC065 is a specific rectification diode used in continuous mode power factor correction working in the BC2 topology. This diode has been especially designed for the dedicated BC2 topology. Therefore, its electrical characteristics offer the best possible efficiency with a P-N optimized structured diode. As a result, SMPS efficiency growth of up to 2.5% can be produced compared with standard ultrafast 600 V P-N diode.
