DESCRIPTION
TURBOSWITCH 1200V drastically cuts losses in
all highvoltageoperationswhich requireextremely
fast,softand noise-freepower diodes.Due to their
optimizedswitchingperformancesthey alsohighly
decrease power losses in any associated
They are particularly suitable in motor control
circuitries, or in the primary of SMPSas snubber,
clamping or demagnetizingdiodes. They are also
suitable for secondary of SMPS as high voltage
rectifierdiodes.
