RURP30120 Data Sheet January 2000 File Number 3397.3 30A, 1200V Ultrafast Diode Features The RURP30120 is an ultrafast diode with soft recovery characteristic (trr < 110ns). It has low forward voltage drop and is silicon nitride passivated ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction. • Ultrafast with Soft Recovery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . <110ns 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 ultrafast recovery with soft recovery characteristic minimize ringing and electrical noise in many power switching circuits, reducing power loss in the switching transistors. • Avalanche Energy Rated Applications Formerly developmental type TA49031. • General Purpose Ordering Information Packaging PART NUMBER RURP30120 PACKAGE TO-220AC • Operating Temperature. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .175oC • Reverse Voltage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1200V • Planar Construction • Switching Power Supplies • Power Switching Circuits JEDEC TO-220AC BRAND RUR30120 ANODE CATHODE NOTE: When ordering, use the entire part number.
