MUR8100E, RURP8100
Data Sheet January 2000
8A, 1000V Ultrafast Diodes
The MUR8100E and RUR8100 are ultrafast diodes
(t
< 75ns) with soft recovery characteristics. They have a
rr
low forward voltage drop and are of planar, silicon nitride
passivated, ion-implanted, epitaxial construction.
These devices are intended for use as energy steering/
clamping diodes and rectifiers in a variety of switchingpower
supplies and other power switching applications. Their low
stored charge and ultrafast recovery with soft recovery
characteristics minimize ringing and electrical noise in many
power switching circuits, thus reducing power loss in the
switching transistor.
Formerly developmental type TA09617.
