Description
RURG5070, RURG5080, RURG5090 and RURG50100 are
ultrafast diodes with soft recovery characteristics (t
RR
< 125ns).
They have low forward voltage drop and are silicon nitride passi-
vated ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction.
A
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
ringing and electrical noise in many power switching circuits
reducing power loss in the switching transistors.
