STMicroelectronics family of FERD, or Field Effect Rectifier Diodes, offers a unique trade-off between low forward voltage drop and low reverse leakage current thanks to ST's advanced rectifier proprietary process. This technology enables designers to meet the most stringent energy-efficiency standard requirements without the expense of using synchronous rectification techniques. These diodes are available in either single- or dual-diode devices, with continuous forward currents ranging from 15 amps to 60 amps with peak reverse voltages ranging from 45 to 60 volts. By achieving best-in-class forward voltage drop and low reverse leakage current, these diodes are ideal for applications including industrial power machines and auxiliary power units. Currently, twelve FERD devices are available and housed in through-hole, D2PAK, and power-flat packages. https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/stmicroelectronics/field-effect-rectifier-diodes-ferd?WT.Z_sm_link=Youtube_DKDaily2018
