FEATURES AND BENEFITS
■ESPECIALLY SUITED AS BOOST DIODE IN
CONTINUOUS MODE POWER FACTOR
CORRECTORS AND HARD SWITCHING DESCRIPTION
CONDITIONS The TURBOSWITCH “H” is an ultra high
■DESIGNED FOR HIGH dIF/dt OPERATION. performance diode composed of two 300V dice in
HYPERFAST RECOVERY CURRENT TO series. TURBOSWITCH “H” family drastically cuts
COMPETE WITH SiC DEVICES. ALLOWS losses in the associated MOSFET when run at
DOWNSIZING OF MOSFET AND HEATSINKS high dIF/dt.
■INTERNAL CERAMIC INSULATED DEVICES
WITH EQUAL THERMAL CONDITIONS FOR
BOTH 300V DIODES
■INSULATION (2500VRMS) ALLOWS
PLACEMENT ON SAME HEATSINK AS
MOSFET FLEXIBLE HEATSINKING ON
COMMON OR SEPARATE HEATSINK
