Data Sheet January 2002
30A, 400V - 600V Hyperfast Diodes
The RHRP3040 and RHRP3060 are hyperfast diodes with
soft recovery characteristics (t
< 40ns). They have half the
rr
recovery time of ultrafast diodes and are of 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, thus
reducing power loss in the switching transistors.
Formerly developmental type TA49063.
