RHRG30120CC
30A, 1200V Hyperfast Dual Diode
The RHRG30120CC is a hyperfast dual diode with soft
recovery characteristics (t
rr
< 65ns). It has half the recovery
time of ultrafast diodes and is of silicon nitride passivated
ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction.
This device is intended for use as a freewheeling/clamping
diode and rectifier in a variety of high frequency switching
power supplies and other power switching applications. Its
low stored charge and hyperfast soft recovery minimize
ringing and electrical noise in many power switching circuits,
thus reducing power loss in the switching transistors.
Formerly developmental type TA49041.
