The NTE578 is a general purpose rectifier employing the Schottky Barrier principle in a large area metaltosilicon power diode. Stateofthe art geometry features epitaxial construction with oxide passivation and metal overlcontact. Ideally suited for use as rectifiers in lowvoltage, highfrequency inverters, free wheeling diodes, and polarity protection diodes. Model # NTE578 Features: Low reverse current Low stored charge, majority carrier conduction Low power loss/high efficiency Highly stable oxide passivated junction Guard ring for stress protection
