15A, 1200V Hyperfast Diode
Features
The RHRP15120 is a hyperfast diode with soft recovery
• Hyperfast with Soft Recovery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .<65ns
characteristics (t < 65ns). It has half the recovery time of
ultrafast diodes and is of silicon nitride passivated
ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction.

• Avalanche Energy Rated
This device is intended for use as a freewheeling/clamping
diode and rectifier in a variety of switching power supplies
and other power switching applications. Its low stored charge
and hyperfast soft recovery minimize ringing and electrical
noise in many power switching circuits, thus reducing power
loss in the switching transistors.

Applications
• Switching Power Supplies
• Power Switching Circuits
• General Purpose
Formerly developmental type TA49098.
