Forward current flow in a Schottky rectifier is due to
majority carrier conduction. So reverse recovery is
not affected by stored charge as in conventional PN
junction diodes.
Nevertheless, when the device switches from for-
ward biased condition to reverse blocking state,
current is required to charge the depletion capaci-
tance of the diode.
Fig.1 : Forward current versus forward
voltage at low level (typical values).
This current depends only of diode capacitance and
external circuit impedance. Satisfactory circuit be-
haviour analysis may be performed assuming that
Schottky rectifier consists of an ideal diode in pa-
rallel with a variable capacitance equal to the junc-
tion capacitance (see fig. 5 page 4/4).
