Tandem 600V Hyperfast Rectifer

®

The

TURBOSWITCH

“H”

is

an

ultra

high

performance diode composed of two 300V dice in

series. TURBOSWITCH “H” family drastically cuts

losses in the associated MOSFET when run at

DESCRIPTION

s

Especially suited as boost diode in continuous

mode

power

factor

correctors

and

hard

switching conditions.

s

Designed for high di/dt operation. Hyperfast

recovery current to compete with GaAs devices.

Allows downsizing of mosfet and heatsinks.

s

Internal ceramic insulated devices with equal

thermal conditions for both 300V diodes.

s

Insulation (2500V RMS) allows placement on

same

heatsink

as

mosfet

and

flexible

heatsinking on common or separate heatsink.

s

Matched diodes for typical PFC application

without need for voltage balance network.

s

C = 7pF
