Description
The RURU75120 (TA49032) is an ultrafast diode with soft
recovery characteristics (t
RR
< 125ns). It has low forward
voltage drop and is silicon nitride passivated ion-implanted
epitaxial planar construction.
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 characteris-
tic minimize ringing and electrical noise in many power
switching circuits reducing power loss in the switching tran-
sistors.
