Description
The compromise-free, high quality design of this
diode has produced a device with low leakage
current, regularly reproducible characteristics and
intrinsic ruggedness. These characteristics make
it ideal for heavy duty applications that demand
long term reliability.
These demanding applications include industrial
power supplies, motor control, and similar
industrial systems that require rectification and
freewheeling. These diodes also fit into auxiliary
functions such as snubber, bootstrap, and
demagnetization applications.
The improved performance in low leakage
current, and therefore thermal runaway guard
band, is an immediate advantage for reducing
maintenance of the equipment

1 Characteristics
When the diodes are used simultaneously:
∆Tj(diode1) = P(diode1) x Rth(j-c) (per diode) + P(diode2) x Rth(c)
To evaluate the conduction losses use the following equation:
P = 1.3 x IF(AV) + 0.0067 IF2(RMS)
