DESCRIPTION
The TURBOSWITCH is a very high performance series of ultra-fast high voltage power diodes from 600V to 1200V.
TURBOSWITCH "A" family drastically cuts losses in both the diode and the associated switching IGBT or MOSFET in all "Freewheel Mode" operations and is particulary suitable and efficient in Motor Control Freewheel applications and in Booster diode applications in Power Factor Control circuitries.
Packaged in SMC surface mount envelope, these 600V devices are particularly intended for use on 240V domestic mains.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
■ SPECIFIC TO "FREEWHEEL MODE" OPERATIONS : FREEWHEEL OR BOOSTER DIODE
■ ULTRA-FAST AND SOFT RECOVERY
■ VERY LOW OVERALL POWER LOSSES IN BOTH THE DIODE AND THE COMPANION TRANSISTOR
■ HIGH FREQUENCY OPERATIONS
■ SURFACE MOUNT DEVICE
