Description
RHRP870CC, RHRP880CC, RHRP890CC and RHRP8100CC
(TA49060) are hyperfast dual diodes with soft recovery character-
istics (t
RR
< 55ns). They have half the recovery time of ultrafast
diodes 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
hyperfast soft recovery minimize ringing and electrical noise in
many power switching circuits reducing power loss in the switching
transistors.
