RURD460, RURD460S
Data Sheet January 2002
4A, 600V Ultrafast Diodes
The RURD460, and RURD460S are ultrafast diodes with soft
recovery characteristics (t
< 55ns). They have low forward
rr
voltage drop 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 ultrafast soft recovery minimize ringing
and electrical noise in many power switching circuits
reducing power loss in the switching transistors.
Formerly developmental type TA49035.
Ordering Information
PART NUMBER PACKAGE BRAND
RURD460 TO-251 RUR460
