Description
The SPV1520 is a cool bypass switch with a very
low forward voltage drop and ultra low reverse
leakage current. The former drastically reduces
the power dissipation in bypass mode and
prolongs the lifetime of the device, by reducing
maintenance costs and shutdown due to a device
failure. The latter allows the device to work at
very high temperature avoiding thermal runaway
phenomenon. These are clearly key benefits for
all those applications requiring low power
consumption to increase the system lifetime and
maximize the power transfer from harvesting
source to the load. For all these reasons and the
strong ESD robustness, the cool bypass switch is
the significant evolution with respect to the
traditional standard Schottky diode.
