DESCRIPTION
VS-HFA16TB120SPbF is a state of the art ultrafast recovery
diode. Employing the latest in epitaxial construction and
16 A
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 1200 V and 16 A continuous current,
the VS-HFA16TB120SPbF is especially well suited for use
as the companion diode for IGBTs and MOSFETs. In
addition to ultrafast recovery time, the HEXFRED
®
product
line features extremely low values of peak recovery current
(I
) and does not exhibit any tendency to “snap-off”
RRM
during the t
portion of recovery. The HEXFRED
b
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
VS-HFA16TB120SPbF 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.
