DESCRIPTION
HFA60PA40C is a state of the art center tap 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 400V and 30 A per leg continuous current, the
HFA60PA40C 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 HFA60PA40C is ideally suited for
applications in power conversion systems (such as
inverters), motor drives, and many other similar
applications where high speed, high efficiency is
needed.
