Hi guys,
I´m looking for a high speed schottky diode, had anybody made some experince with these.Otherwise I´m not sure if these diodes fit to my needs. I like to convert a sawtooth signal to a square wave signal (round about 30MHz would be nice) .
Are there other simple ways to realize or does anybody knows where to get such diodes with the appropriate properties?Thank you !!!

They don't make "low-speed" schottky diodes!
Without knowing what circuit you were contemplating its hard to
say anything useful.
What is this sawtooth signal, voltage and impedance, what quality of square wave do you
want from it (it does sound like a job for a high-speed comparator)?
High speed comparators are notoriously unstable and pretty much mandate a
ground plane.
Its not impossible to have a good quality saw or square wave at 30MHz if you know
what you are doing - which means using video amps and transmission line.
