Electronic – get a pair of schottky diodes in a single chip

diodesmotor

I'm building a motor driver circuit, and am looking at diodes to clamp the output voltage between the supply rails. Apparenly, I should use schottky diodes for this purpose.

My question is, are there ICs out there than contain a pair of diodes arranged as shown below?

0V      S       V+

Or should I just buy a pair of single diodes?

They're simply called "double Schottky diodes" :-). They often come in different configurations, like for instance the BAT54:

BAT54A: common anode
BAT54C: common cathode
BAT54S: in series, one diode's cathode connects to the other's anode
BAT54: is the single diode version
