FEATURES AND BENEFITS
■ Ultrafast switching
■ Low reverse recovery current
■ Low thermal resistance
■ Reduces switching and conduction losses
DESCRIPTION
The STTH8L06, which is using ST Turbo2 600V
technology, is specially suited as boost diode in
discontinuous or critical mode power factor
corrections.
The device is also intended for use as a free
wheeling diode in power supplies and other power
switching applications.
