MUR1520, RURP1520
Data Sheet January 2000
15A, 200V Ultrafast Diodes
The MUR1520 and RURP1520 are ultrafast diodes
(t
< 30ns) with soft recovery characteristics. They have a
rr
low forward voltage drop and are of planar, silicon nitride
passivated, ion-implanted, epitaxial construction.
These devices are intended for use as energy steering/
clamping diodesand rectifiers in a variety of switching power
supplies and other power switching applications. Their low
stored charge and ultrafast recovery with soft recovery
characteristics minimizes ringing and electrical noise in
many power switching circuits, thus reducing power loss in
the switching transistor.
Formerly developmental type TA09926.

DEFINITIONS
VF = Instantaneous forward voltage (pw = 300µs, D = 2%).
IR = Instantaneous reverse current.
trr = Reverse recovery time at dIF/dt = 100A/µs (See Figure 6), summation of ta + tb.
ta = Time to reach peak reverse current at dIF/dt = 100A/µs (See Figure 6).
tb = Time from peak IRM to projected zero crossing of IRM based on a straight line from peak IRM through 25% of IRM (See Figure 6).
R
= Thermal resistance junction to case.

pw = pulse width.
D = duty cycle.
