* oState of the art hyperfast recovery rectifiers designed with optimized performance of forward voltage drop, hyperfast recoverytime,andsoftrecovery. The planar structure and the platinum doped life time control guarantee the best overall performance, ruggedness and reliabilitycharacteristics. These devices are intended for use in PFC boost stage in the AC/DC section of SMPS, inverters or as freewheeling diodes. Their extremely optimized stored charge and low recovery current minimize the switching losses and reduce over dissipation in the switching element and snubbers.
