Description
The RURD6120 and RURD6120S (TA49039) are ultrafast
diodes with soft recovery characteristics (t
RR
< 70ns). They
have low forward voltage drop and are silicon nitride passi-
vated ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction.
These devices are intended for use as freewheeling/clamp-
ing diodes and rectifiers in a variety of switching power sup-
plies and other power switching applications. Their low
stored charge and ultrafast soft recovery minimize ringing
and electrical noise in many power switching circuits reduc-
ing power loss in the switching transistors.
