DESCRIPTION
VS-HFA16TB120... is a state of the art ultrafast recovery
diode. Employing the latest in epitaxial construction and
advanced processing techniques it features a superb
combination of characteristics which result in performance
which is unsurpassed by any rectifier previously available.
With basic ratings of 1200 V and 16 A continuous current,
the VS-HFA16TB120... is especially well suited for use as
the companion diode for IGBTs and MOSFETs. In addition
to ultrafast recovery time, the HEXFRED® product line
features extremely low values of peak recovery current
(IRRM) and does not exhibit any tendency to “snap-off”
during the tb portion of recovery. The HEXFRED features
combine to offer designers a rectifier with lower noise and
significantly lower switching losses in both the diode and the
switching transistor. These HEXFRED advantages can help
to significantly reduce snubbing, component count and
heatsink sizes. The HEXFRED VS-HFA16TB120... is ideally
suited for applications in power supplies and power
conversion systems (such as inverters), motor drives, and
many other similar applications where high speed, high
efficiency is needed.
