RHRP840, RHRP860 Data Sheet January 2000 File Number 3668.2 8A, 400V - 600V Hyperfast Diodes Features The RHRP840 and RHRP860 are hyperfast diodes with soft recovery characteristics (trr < 30ns). They have half the recovery time of ultrafast diodes and are silicon nitride passivated ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction. • Hyperfast with Soft Recovery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . <30ns These devices are intended for use as freewheeling/clamping diodes and rectifiers in a variety of switching power supplies and other power switching applications. Their low stored charge and hyperfast soft recovery minimize ringing and electrical noise in many power switching circuits reducing power loss in the switching transistors. • Avalanche Energy Rated Applications Formerly developmental type TA49059. • General Purpose Ordering Information Packaging PART NUMBER PACKAGE • Operating Temperature. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 175oC • Reverse Voltage Up To . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .600V • Planar Construction • Switching Power Supplies • Power Switching Circuits JEDEC TO-220AC BRAND RHRP840 TO-220AC RHRP840 RHRP860 TO-220AC RHRP860 ANODE NOTE: When ordering, use the entire part number.
