Hyperfast Rectifier
Features

trr = 22ns typ.

IF(AV) = 15Amp
VR = 600V

Hyperfast Recovery Time

Low Forward Voltage Drop
Low Leakage Current
175C Operating Junction Temperature
Fully Isolated package (VINS = 2500 VRMS)
UL E78996 approved

Description/ Applications
State of the art Hyperfast recovery rectifiers designed with optimized performance of forward voltage drop,
Hyperfast recover time, and soft recovery.
The planar structure and the platinum doped life time control guarantee the best overall performance, ruggedness
and reliability characteristics.
These devices are intended for use in PFC Boost stage in the AC-DC section of SMPS, inverters or as freewheeling
diodes.
The IR extremely optimized stored charge and low recovery current minimize the switching losses and reduce over
dissipation in the switching element and snubbers.
