| Jun 30, 2020 at 12:39 | comment | added | Jess | It would be hard to find a Schottky diode with the same characteristics than a "PN diode" as generally the reverse voltage of a Schottky diode is very low. So I can take a 0A1 Schottky diode but the reverse voltage would be very low compared to the "PN diode" | |

| Jun 30, 2020 at 12:25 | comment | added | user16324 | Comparing a 100mA diode with a 500mA diode is not really comparing like with like, for one thing. For another, it is a mistake to assume that capacitance is the only speed limitation in a junction diode : the reverse recovery time (to drain carriers from the active region) is more important, especially in higher power junction diodes (1N4007) | |
