DESCRIPTION
SMB
TURBOSWITCH 1200V drastically cuts losses in
allhighvoltageoperationswhich requireextremely
fast,softand noise-freepower diodes.
Due to their optimized switching performances
they also highly decrease power losses in any
They are particularly suitable in motor control
circuitries, or in primary of SMPS as snubber,
clampingor demagnetizingdiodes. They are also
suitableforthe secondaryof SMPSas highvoltage
rectifierdiodes.
associated switching IGBT or MOSFET in all
freewheelmode operations.
