Diodes Product Introduction
TOSHIBA's diodes range widely from general-purpose small signal diodes to rectifier diodes mainly used for power sources. There are also an abundant line-up of surface mounting type diodes responding to the higher-performance, higher-density electronic devices.
Rectifier Diode
This diode has been optimized for medium-current high-speed switching such as DC-DC converters and high-efficiency AC adapters. There is an abundant line-up of lead type diodes suitable for voltage-resistant high-density mounting, and surface mounting type ones.
Zener Diodes
A wide range of product classes of voltage is available, centering around the small surface mounting type products. These diodes are one of key devices for the reference voltage, noise clips, etc.
- Zener Diodes
- Protection Diodes against ESD
-
ESD protection diodes are designed to absorb electrostatic discharge (ESD) energy introduced that is introduced from I/O ports. Toshiba ESD protection diodes provide protection against ESD-induced system malfunction and/or damage to driver ICs and the like.
- Extreme High Speed Type
- Ultra High-Speed Type
- Super High-Speed Type
- High-Speed Type
- Standard Type
- Bidirectional Type
- Integrated EMI Filter
Switching Diodes
These are general-purpose switching diodes widely used for small signal switching, etc. Mainly provided in the small surface mounting type packages, they are optimum for high-density electronic devices.
Schottky Barrier Diodes
A Schottky barrier diode is an element with a junction of a semiconductor and a metal such as molybdenum in place of P-N junction. Unlike P-N junctioned diodes, it is activated by majority carriers. It is suitable for high-speed switching because the forward voltage is low and the reverse recovery time is short.

- Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs)
- Radio-Frequency Schottky Barrier Diodes
Variable Capacity Diodes
These diodes have the capacities variable depending on the value of the reverse bias voltage applied between the anode and the cathode. They are also called VCDs (Variable Capacitance Diodes) or VariCaps. They are mainly used in high-frequency matching circuits for electronic tuning.
Radio-Frequency Switching Diodes
They are particularly optimum for switching UHF/VHF frequency band of TV tuners.
