RHRG1540CC, RHRG1560CC
Data Sheet January 2002
15A, 400V - 600V Hyperfast Dual Diodes
The RHRG1540CC and RHRG1560CC are hyperfast dual
diodes with soft recovery characteristics (t
< 35ns). They
rr
have half the recovery time of ultrafast diodes and are silicon
nitride passivated ion-implanted epitaxial planar
construction.
These devices are intended for use as freewheeling/
clamping diodes and rectifiers in a variety of switching power
supplies and other power switching applications. Their low
stored charge and hyperfast soft recovery minimize ringing
and electrical noise in many power switching circuits
reducing power loss in the switching transistors.
Formerly developmental type TA49061.
