Description
International Rectifier's HFA15TB60S is a state of the art ultra fast recovery
diode. Employing the latest in epitaxial construction and advanced processing
techniques it features a superb combination of characteristics which result in
performance which is unsurpassed by any rectifier previously available. With
basic ratings of 600 volts and 8 amps per Leg continuous current, the
HFA15TB60S is especially well suited for use as the companion diode for IGBTs
and MOSFETs. In addition to ultra fast recovery time, the HEXFRED product line
features extremely low values of peak recovery current (I
exhibit any tendency to "snap-off" during the tb portion of recovery. The
HEXFRED features combine to offer designers a rectifier with lower noise and
significantly lower switching losses in both the diode and the switching
transistor. These HEXFRED advantages can help to significantly reduce
snubbing, component count and heatsink sizes. The HEXFRED HFA15TB60S is
ideally suited for applications in power supplies and power conversion systems
(such as inverters), motor drives, and many other similar applications where
high speed, high efficiency is needed.
