30A, 400V - 600V Ultrafast Dual Diodes
Features
RURG3040CC and RURG3060CC are ultrafast dual diodes
with soft recovery characteristics (trr < 55ns). They have low
forward voltage drop and are silicon nitride passivated ionimplanted epitaxial planar construction.

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.

DEFINITIONS
VF = Instantaneous forward voltage (pw = 300µs, D = 2%).
IR = Instantaneous reverse current.
trr = Reverse recovery time (See Figure 6), summation of ta + tb.
ta = Time to reach peak reverse current (See Figure 6).
tb = Time from peak IRM to projected zero crossing of IRM based on a straight line from peak IRM through 25% of IRM (See Figure 6).
RθJC = Thermal resistance junction to case.
pw = Pulse width.
D = Duty cycle.
