March 22, 2005 – Hauppauge, NY USA - March 22, 2005 - Central Semiconductor Corp. announces the release of the new CMDSH05-4 energy efficient high current/low V_F Schottky diode packaged in a SUPERmini™ SOD-323 package.  This device offers a high continuous forward current of 500mA and a low maximum V_F specification of 0.35V at 100mA and 0.47V at 500mA. The CMDSH05-4 is ideal for motor control and DC-DC applications in portable battery powered electronics. Central Semiconductor's EED Schottky diodes typically have a forward voltage drop of at least 50% less than non-EED™ diodes. The SOD-323 surface mount package offers a nominal profile under 1.0 mm and compared to an SOD-123 utilizes 49% less circuit board space.

This device is available Bulk Packed or 3,000 pcs on 7" Tape & Reel. Prices for the CMDSH05-4 start at $0.14 each for 3,000 pcs on a 7" reel. Sample devices are available upon request.
