seems everyone is champion Schokky's her, there is a slight disadvantage with them with nice high-power electronics in that their reverse recovery is alot higher then a standard diode when operated as a free-wheel diode.<snip>
Styx, reiterating: this is the statement I am questioning. You seem to be sidestepping it. I totally agree about all the other properties of Schottky diodes that you listed. Can you support the above quote with something from the book on your desk, or some other source?
The reverse leakage is comparable to the reverse-recovery of a P-N diode
What does this mean? Leakage is measured in amperes, and reverse recovery is measured in seconds.
Styx, I'm not picking on you - I just don't think we should be disseminating misinformation here. If I am wrong, I'll be happy (but not too happy) to admit it.
