RURP8100CC
Data Sheet January 2000
8A, 1000V Ultrafast Dual Diode
The RURP8100CC is an ultrafast dual diode with soft
recovery characteristics (t
< 85ns). It has low forward
rr
voltage drop 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 ultrafast soft recovery minimize ringing and electrical
noise in many power switching circuits, reducing power loss
in the switching transistors.
Formerly developmental type TA09617.
