Features and benefits
■ Especially suited as boost diode in continuous
mode power factor correctors and hard
switching conditions
■ Designed for high di/dt operation. Hyperfast
recovery current to compete with SiC devices.
Allows downsizing of mosfet and heatsinks
■ Internal ceramic insulated devices with equal
thermal conditions for both 300 V diodes
■ Insulation (2500 V
same heatsink as mosfet and flexible
heatsinking on common or separate heatsink
■ Static and dynamic equilibrium of internal
diodes are warranted by design
■ Package Capacitance: C = 7 pF

Description
The TURBOSWITCH “H” is an ultra high
performance diode composed of two 300 V dice
in series. TURBOSWITCH “H” family drastically
cuts losses in the associated MOSFET when run
at high dI
