RHRD4120, RHRD4120S
4A, 1200V Hyperfast Diodes
The RHRD4120 and RHRD4120S are hyperfast diodes with
soft recovery characteristics (t
rr
< 60ns). They have half the
recovery time of ultrafast diodes and are silicon nitride
passivated ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction.
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
Formerly development type TA49056.
