RHRP1540, RHRP1560 Data Sheet January 2000 File Number 3685.2 15A, 400V - 600V Hyperfast Diodes Features The RHRP1540 and RHRP1560 are hyperfast diodes with soft recovery characteristics (trr < 35ns). They have half the recovery time of ultrafast diodes and are silicon nitride passivated ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction. * Hyperfast with Soft Recovery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . <35ns 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. * Avalanche Energy Rated * Reverse Voltage Up To . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .600V * Planar Construction Applications * Switching Power Supplies * Power Switching Circuits Formerly developmental type TA49061. * General Purpose Ordering Information PART NUMBER * Operating Temperature. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .175oC PACKAGE BRAND RHRP1540 TO-220AC RHRP1540 RHRP1560 TO-220AC RHRP1560 Packaging NOTE: When ordering, use the entire part number.
