File Number 3946.1
50A, 1200V Hyperfast Diode
Features
• Hyperfast with Soft Recovery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .<85ns
The RHRU50120 (TA49100) are hyperfast diodes with soft
o
recovery characteristics (t
recovery time of ultrafast diodes and are silicon nitride passi-
< 85ns). They have half the
RR
• Operating Temperature . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +175 C
• Reverse Voltage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1200V
• Avalanche Energy Rated
vated ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction.
These devices are intended for use as freewheeling/clamp-
ing diodes and rectifiers in a variety of switching power sup-
plies and other power switching applications. Their low
stored charge and hyperfast soft recovery minimize ringing
and electrical noise in many power switching circuits reduc-
ing power loss in the switching transistors.
• Planar Construction
Applications
• Switching Power Supplies
• Power Switching Circuits
• General Purpose
