Features
Description/ Applications
Hyperfast Rectifier
State of the art Hyperfast recovery rectifiers designed with optimized performance of forward voltage drop,
Hyperfast recover time, and soft recovery.
The planar structure and the platinum doped life time control guarantee the best overall performance, ruggedness
and reliability characteristics.
These devices are intended for use in PFC Boost stage in the AC-DC section of SMPS, inverters or as freewheeling
diodes.
The IR extremely optimized stored charge and low recovery current minimize the switching losses and reduce over
dissipation in the switching element and snubbers.
