RHRU10060
Data Sheet January 2000 File Number 3572.3
100A, 600V Hyperfast Diode
The RHRU10060 is a hyperfast diode with soft recovery
characteristics (t
< 50ns). It has half the recovery time of
rr
ultrafast diodes and is of silicon nitride passivated
ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction.
This device is intended for use as a freewheeling/clamping
diode and rectifier in a variety of switching power supplies
and other powerswitchingapplications.Itslow stored charge
and hyperfast soft recovery minimize ringing and electrical
noise in many power switching circuits, thus reducing power
loss in the switching transistors.
Formerly developmental type TA49069.
