Available now in the UK from Neutron is the Cree range of silicon carbide Schottky diodes.

Enhancing its range of power products, Neutron has been appointed UK distributor for Cree's range of silicon carbide Schottky diodes Cree's Zero Recovery family of silicon-carbide-based rectifiers have essentially no reverse recovery at 300, 600 and 1200V breakdown and are targeted for applications where low switching loss is required, such as power factor correction

Additional features of these devices include extremely fast switching, temperature independent switching behaviour, positive temperature coefficient on forward voltage, and high-frequency operation.

These features enable systems with improved efficiency, reduced size and higher switching frequencies.

David Hardy, Sales Manager at Neutron commented: "We are very excited about Cree's products as they complement our existing ranges of MOSFETs, IGBTs and wound components and strengthen our commitment to bring power supply designers the very latest technological advances".
