600 V high voltage rectifier for BC2 topology

Features

■ optimized diode for BC

■ low conduction losses

■ improves efficiency by up to 2.5% compared to

conventional continuous mode PFC using
standard ultrafast 600 V PN diodes

■ performance efficiency improved by up to

0.5% compared with 600 V Schottky power
diodes with no reverse recovery charges used
in CCM PFC at 200 kHz

■ helps meet the 80+ efficiency requirements

■ supports PFC working up to 300 kHz

■ suitable for PFC up to 2 kW

■ compatible with standard PFC controller ICs

Description

The STTH8BC060 is a specific rectification diode
used in continuous mode power factor correction
working in the BC
especially designed for the dedicated BC
topology. Therefore, its electrical characteristics
offer the best possible efficiency with a P-N
optimized structured diode. As a result, SMPS
efficiency growth of up to 2.5% can be produced
compared with standard ultrafast 600 V P-N
diode.
