Schottky diode voltage drop, Buy schottky diodesA Schottky diode, also known as a hot carrier diode, is a semiconductor diode which has a low forward voltage drop and a very fast switching action.

There is a small voltage drop across the diode terminals when current flows through a diode. 

What is esd protection, esd protection manufacturersESD, or electrostatic discharge, is an energy transfer between two objects that are differently charged.

ESD can short out or cause damage to electronic devices, which is why several electronic manufacturers protect their devices against ESD.

High frequency applications, digital logic circuitThe PN junction of a small signal diode is usually encapsulated in glass in order to protect it and generally has a black or red band at one end of its body identifying it as the cathode end of the terminal.

Small signal diodes have lower current and power ratings in comparison to rectifier diodes but can function better in high frequency applications or in switching and clipping applications which deal with short-duration pulse waveforms.
