RHRG50120 Data Sheet January 2000 File Number 3947.3 50A, 1200V Hyperfast Diode Features The RHRG50120 is a hyperfast diode with soft recovery characteristics (trr < 85ns). It has half the recovery time of ultrafast diodes and is of silicon nitride passivated ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction. • Hyperfast with Soft Recovery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . <85ns 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 PACKAGE TO-247 • Planar Construction Applications • Switching Power Supplies • General Purpose Ordering Information RHRG50120 • Reverse Voltage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1200V • Power Switching Circuits Formerly developmental type TA49100.
