There is no such thing as a Schottky transistor per se BUT they are used to speed up switching of conventional transistors by stopping them going into deep saturation - have a look at the internal circuit of any 74LSxx (low power Schottky) or 74Sxx (High power :-) Schottky) logic IC. A bit old tech now :-). Subject: Re: [OT] What is a Schottky ? >So if schottkies are so fast, why dont they make transistors out of them? >or do they? >
