DESCRIPTION
State of the art, ultralow VF, soft-switching ultrafast
rectifiers optimized for Discontinuous (Critical) Mode (DCM)
Power Factor Correction (PFC).
The minimized conduction loss, optimized stored charge
and low recovery current minimized the switching losses
and reduce over dissipation in the switching element and
snubbers.
The device is also intended for use as a freewheeling diode
in power supplies and other power switching applications.
APPLICATIONS
AC/DC SMPS 70 W to 400 W
e.g. laptop and printer AC adaptors, desktop PC, TV and
monitor, games units and DVD AC/DC power supplies.
