inters;| Data Sheet 30A, 1200V Hyperfast Diode The RHRP30120 is a hyperfast diode with soft recovery characteristics (t,, < 65ns).It has half the recovery time of ultrafast diodes and is of silicon nitride passivated ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction. This device is intended for use as a freewheeling/clamping diode and rectifier in a variety of high frequency switching power supplies and other power switching applications. Its low stored charge and hyperfast soft recovery minimize ringing and electrical noise in many power switching circuits, reducing power loss in the switching transistors. Formerly developmental type TA49041. Ordering Information PART NUMBER PACKAGE BRAND RHRP30120 TO-220AC RHR30120 NOTE: When ordering, use the entire part number.
