November 1999 - Ed: 5B

ULTRA-FAST, SOFT RECOVERY.

VERY LOW OVERALL POWER LOSSES IN

BOTH THE DIODE AND THE COMPANION

TRANSISTOR.

HIGH FREQUENCY AND/OR HIGH PULSED

CURRENT OPERATION.

HIGH REVERSE VOLTAGE CAPABILITY.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

TURBOSWITCH 1200V drastically cuts losses in

all high voltage operationswhich require extremely

fast, soft and noise-free power diodes. Due to their

optimized switching performances they also highly

decrease power

losses

in

any

associated

switching IGBT or MOSFET in all freewheel mode

operations.

They are particularly suitable in motor control

circuitries, or in the primary of SMPS as snubber,

clamping or demagnetizing diodes. They are also

suitable for secondary of SMPS as high voltage

rectifier diodes.
