RHRP1540, RHRP1560
Data Sheet
January 2000
File Number 3685.2
15A, 400V - 600V Hyperfast Diodes
Features
The RHRP1540 and RHRP1560 are hyperfast diodes with
• Hyperfast with Soft Recovery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .<35ns
soft recovery characteristics (t < 35ns). They have half the
recovery time of ultrafast diodes and are silicon nitride
passivated ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction.

• Avalanche Energy Rated
These devices are intended for use as freewheeling/
clamping diodes and rectifiers in a variety of switching power
supplies and other power switching applications. Their low
stored charge and hyperfast soft recovery minimize ringing
and electrical noise in many power switching circuits
reducing power loss in the switching transistors.

• Switching Power Supplies
• Power Switching Circuits
• General Purpose
Formerly developmental type TA49061.
