Description
RURU8040, RURU8050 and RURU8060 (TA9886) are ultrafast
diodes with soft recovery characteristics (t
RR
< 75ns). They have
low forward voltage drop and are silicon nitride passivated ion-
implanted 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 characteristic minimizes ring-
ing and electrical noise in many power switching circuits reducing
power loss in the switching transistors.
