RHRG1540CC, RHRG1560CC Data Sheet January 2000 File Number 3684.2 15A, 400V - 600V Hyperfast Dual Diodes Features The RHRG1540CC and RHRG1560CC are hyperfast dual diodes with soft recovery characteristics (trr < 35ns). They have half the recovery time of ultrafast diodes and are silicon nitride passivated ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction. * Hyperfast with Soft Recovery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . < 35ns 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. * Planar Construction Applications Formerly developmental type TA49061. * General Purpose Ordering Information Packaging PART NUMBER PACKAGE * Operating Temperature. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .175oC * Reverse Voltage Up To . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .600V * Avalanche Energy Rated * Switching Power Supplies * Power Switching Circuits JEDEC STYLE TO-247 BRAND RHRG1540CC TO-247 RHRG1540C RHRG1560CC TO-247 RHRG1560C NOTE: When ordering, use the entire part number.
