RHRU5040, RHRU5050, RHRU5060
Data Sheet April 1995 File Number 3919.1
50A, 400V - 600V Hyperfast Diodes
RHRU5040, RHRU5050 and RHRU5060 (TA49065) are
hyperfast diodes with soft recovery characteristics
(t
< 45ns). They have half the recovery time of ultrafast
RR
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.
