    How do you test a Schottky Barrier Diode

    I'm troubleshooting a smps and trying to understand how to test a schottky barrier diode. Below is the link to the datasheet. Can someone describe the method?

    Thanks,

      Re: How do you test a Schottky Barrier Diode

      You test it like any regular, silicon diode.
      It should conduct in one direction, and not in the other.
      Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!
      For service manual, schematic, boardview (board view), datasheet, cad - use our search.

          Corsair RM 750 blown schottky diode near ES1DF
          by iyas132
          Hi there, i am currently diagnosing my corsair rm750 that wont turn on, after a power trip.

          Before the power trip, previously i need to push power button on my pc case quite a bit in order to turn the pc (and power supply on), however after the power trip now i cannot turn the pc on at all and i opened the power supply, and found out some of the component(s) are blown. (picture attached)

          My current diagnostic is that the (schottky) diode marked "SF" in the 5Vsb circuit are blown and possibly the ES1DF diode too.

          Can anyone help me identify the component...

          How To Test a P-channel Trench Mosfet Using A Multimeter In Diode Mode
          by dj8452000
          I am new to electronics and I'm understanding most of what I'm reading but I have a mosfet on my board that I've identified as a P-channel Trench Mosfet. I haven't a clue how to test this and what I should expect to see with the multimeter probes. I am hoping someone with years more experience than myself can help me understand how to use a multimeter to read this. Please look at the drawing I have attached to this and can you try to explain to me what I should be doing with my multimeter in diode mode and what results I should expect from a good mosfet?...

          2+ year old TV with many (720? 65" version has 720) mini LED dimming zones. TV boots, has sound, panel picture can be seen with flashlight. No backlight. No TV model sticker on rear panel (Maybe Samsung service removed it, read below). Found the model # through the PSU and zoned LED driver board numbers.

          PSU has a click near LED output circuit at 1 second interval, sounded like the 4x barrier rectifier area. Protective pastic liner under PSU shows heat signature on the Schottky Barrier Rectifier in this circuit. Found a shorted diode (2 diode per rectifier, failed rectifier labled...

          macbook pro 820-02100 5v 0 amp
          by MalodicOne
          Unit came to me and customer said they spilled liquid on it. Opened unit and inspected board and saw no signs on liquid reaching the board. Plugged in amp meter and it pulled 20v and booted normally, i connected to internet and ran update on the OS. Came in the next day to test again to make sure unit was functional, now its stuck at 5v and 0 amps no power, no shorts found on so far.

          Tested all CD3217 and RAA489900:
          UF400
          PP3v3_UPC0_LDO- 3.48v, .473 Diode
          PP1v5_UPC0_LDO_CORE- 1.59v, .504 Diode
          USBC0_CC1- 0v, .455 Diode
          USBC0_CC2- 1.66v, .454 Diode...

          Zombie Samsung UN55NU6900F dead / no standby voltage - randomly came to life after hours of troubleshooting then died
          by tvguy12012012120
          This is my first attempt at troubleshooting a board like this, I know I could just buy a new board but I'm curious to figure out how this works. I've been testing different components in the evenings this week and I think the problem is with the IC failing to start up for some reason. When the board is plugged in there is no standby voltage.

          Then today it randomly sprung to life like a zombie but shortly died thereafter. I have no idea why it would have done that and its the first time I've seen it running. I discharged capacitors on the board last night, then it was sitting today....
