RHRU150120
Data Sheet January 2000
150A, 1200V Hyperfast Diode
The RHRU150120 is a hyperfast diode with soft recovery
characteristics (t
< 100ns). It has half the recovery time of
rr
ultrafast diodes and is of silicon nitride passivated
ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction.
This device is intended for use as a freewheeling/clamping
diode and rectifier in a variety of switching power supplies
and other powerswitchingapplications.Itslow 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 TA49074.

DEFINITIONS
VF = Instantaneous forward voltage (pw = 300µs, D = 2%).
IR = Instantaneous reverse current.
trr = Reverse recovery time (See Figure 9), summation of ta + tb.
ta = Time to reach peak reverse current (See Figure 9).
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 9).
QRR = Reverse recovery charge.
CJ = Junction Capacitance.
R
