RHRU150120 Data Sheet January 2000 File Number 4049.1 150A, 1200V Hyperfast Diode Features The RHRU150120 is a hyperfast diode with soft recovery characteristics (trr < 100ns). It has half the recovery time of ultrafast diodes and is of silicon nitride passivated ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction. • Hyperfast with Soft Recovery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . <100ns This device is intended for use as a freewheeling/clamping diode and rectifier in a variety of 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. • Avalanche Energy Rated • Reverse Voltage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1200V • Planar Construction Applications • Switching Power Supplier • Power Switching Circuits Formerly developmental type TA49074. • General Purpose Ordering Information PART NUMBER • Operating Temperature. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .175oC PACKAGE BRAND Packaging SINGLE LEAD JEDEC STYLE TO-218 RHRU150120 TO-218 RHR150120 ANODE NOTE: When ordering, use the entire part number.
