15A, 400V - 600V Ultrafast Dual Diodes
MUR3040PT, RURH1540CC, MUR3060PT, and
RURH1560CC are ultrafast dual diodes (t
rr
< 55ns) with
soft recovery characteristics. They have a low forward
voltage drop and are of planar, silicon nitride passivated,
ion-implanted, epitaxial construction.
These devices are intended for use as energy
steering/clamping diodes and rectifiers in a variety of
switching power supplies and other power switching
applications. Their low stored charge and ultrafast recovery
with soft recovery characteristics minimizes ringing and
electrical noise in many power switching circuits thus
reducing power loss in the switching transistor.
Formerly developmental type TA09905.
