DESCRIPTION / APPLICATIONS
VS-60APH03-N3 series are the state of the art ultrafast
recovery rectifiers designed with optimized performance of
forward voltage drop and ultrafast recovery time.
The planar structure and the platinum doped life time control
guarantee the best overall performance, ruggedness and
reliability characteristics.
These devices are intended for PDP and use in the output
rectification stage for SMPS, UPS, DC/DC converters as
well as freewheeling diodes in low voltage inverters.
Their extremely optimized stored charge and low recovery
current minimize the switching losses and reduce over
dissipation in the switching element and snubbers.
