RHRU5040, RHRU5050, RHRU5060
50A, 400V - 600V Hyperfast Diodes
RHRU5040, RHRU5050 and RHRU5060 (TA49065) are
hyperfast
diodes
with
soft
(t
RR
< 45ns). They have half the recovery time of ultrafast
diodes and are silicon nitride passivated ion-implanted epi-
taxial planar construction.
recovery
characteristics
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.
