General Description

This device has the lowest QRR of any 600 V

silicon diode. Its recovery characteristics

increase efficiency, reduce EMI and eliminate

snubbers.

Applications

• Power Factor Correction (PFC) boost diode

• Motor drive circuits

• DC-AC Inverters

Features

• Low QRR, low IRRM, low tRR

• High dIF/dt capable (1000 A / μs)

• Soft recovery

Benefits

• Increases efficiency

• Eliminates need for snubber circuits

• Reduces EMI filter component size & count

• Enables extremely fast switching
