The HSMS-270P-TR1G is a 6-pin bridge quad high performance Schottky Diode for transient suppression. The commonly referred to as clipping/clamping diode, is optimal for circuit and wave shape preservation applications with high speed switching. Ultra-low series resistance, makes them ideal for protecting sensitive circuit elements against higher current transients carried on data lines. With picoseconds switching, the HSMS-270x can respond to noise spikes with rise times as fast as 1ns. Low capacitance minimizes wave shape loss that causes signal degradation. A Schottky device is a rectifying, metal-semiconductor contact formed between a metal and an N-doped or a P-doped semiconductor. When a metal-semiconductor junction is formed, free electrons flow across the junction from the semiconductor and fill the free-energy states in the metal. This flow of electrons creates a depletion or potential across the junction.
