Only one simple question - Please...Please?

[devonsc]

Would like to ask regarding the following Schottky diode's datasheet.

Just to reconfirm. Does it mean that the voltage needed for me to forward bias this specific diode is approximately 0.5V if I'm referring to BAT48 and I'm having a flow of 80mA?

Please? Comments needed

Thanks in advance...

devonsc the heading of the second column says "Test conditions" so at a temperature of 25 degC and a current of 50mA Vf will have a maximum value of 0.5V for the BAT48 schottky diode.

i hope that helps

Sorry, one last question

How do I know the forward voltage of this Schottky diode? :cry: Please?

It's listed in the datasheet above, Vf.

Thanks Thanks....At first I thought I read something wrongly as I'm not sure, so its approximately 0.5V?

Thanks again. Post End

Yes, at 50mA, below that it's less.

Yes, at 50mA, below that it's less.

Great! Thanks a lot...
