RURG1540CC, RURG1560CC Data Sheet January 2000 File Number 3548.3 15A, 400V - 600V Ultrafast Dual Diodes Features The RURG1540CC and RURG1560CC are ultrafast dual diodes with soft recovery characteristics (trr < 55ns). They have low forward voltage drop and are of silicon nitride passivated ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction. • Ultrafast with Soft Recovery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . <55ns 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 ultrafast recovery with soft recovery characteristics minimize ringing and electrical noise in many power switching circuits reducing power loss in the switching transistors. • Avalanche Energy Rated Applications Formerly developmental type TA09905. • 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 STYLE TO-247 BRAND RURG1540CC TO-247 RURG1540C RURG1560CC TO-247 RURG1560C ANODE 1 CATHODE ANODE 2 NOTE: When ordering, use the entire part number.
