FEATURES
• Ultrafast recovery time
• Ultrasoft recovery
• Very low I
• Very low Q
• Guaranteed avalanche
3
• Specified at operating conditions
• Compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC
• Meets MSL level 1, per J-STD-020, LF maximum peak of
260 °C
BENEFITS
• Reduced RFI and EMI
• Reduced power loss in diode and switching transistor
• Higher frequency operation
• Reduced snubbing
• Reduced parts count
DESCRIPTION
These diodes are optimized to reduce losses and EMI/RFI in
high frequency power conditioning systems. The softness of
the recovery eliminates the need for a snubber in most
applications. These devices are ideally suited for
freewheeling, flyback, power converters, motor drives, and
other applications where high speed and reduced switching
losses are design requirements.
