DESCRIPTION
HFA16TB120 is a state of the art ultrafast recovery
diode. Employing the latest in epitaxial construction
and advanced processing techniques it features
a superb combination of characteristics which result
in performance which is unsurpassed by any rectifier
previously available. With basic ratings of 1200V
and 16 A continuous current, the HFA16TB120 is
especially well suited for use as the companion
diode for IGBTs and MOSFETs. In addition to ultrafast
recovery time, the FRED product line features
extremely low values of peak recovery current (I RRM )
and does not exhibit any tendency to “snap-off” during
the t b portion of recovery. The FRED features combine
to offer designers a rectifier with lower noise and
significantly lower switching losses in both the diode
and the switching transistor. These FRED advantages
can help to significantly reduce snubbing, component
count and heatsink sizes. The FRED HFA16TB120
is ideally suited for applications in power supplies and
conversion systems (such as inverters), motor drives,
and many other similar applications where high speed,
high efficiency is needed.
