STTH16003
High frequency secondary rectifier
Features
■ Combines highest recovery and reverse
voltage performance
■ Ultra-fast, soft and noise-free recovery
■ Insulated package: ISOTOP
– insulated voltage: 2500 V rms
– capacitance: < 45 pF
■ Low inductance and low capacitance allow
simplified layout
Description
Dual rectifiers suited for switch mode power
supply and high frequency DC to DC converters.
Packaged in ISOTOP, this device is intended for
use in low voltage, high frequency inverters, free
wheeling operation, welding equipment and
telecom power supplies.
