Description
RURD440, RURD450, RURD460, RURD440S, RURD450S and
RURD460S (TA49035) are ultrafast diodes with soft recovery charac-
teristics (t
RR
< 55ns). They have low forward voltage drop and are sili-
con 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 soft recov-
ery minimize ringing and electrical noise in many power switching cir-
cuits reducing power loss in the switching transistors.
