TURBOSWITCH

3A

1200 V

65 ns

1.7 V

MAIN PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

SPECIFICTO THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS:

SNUBBING OR CLAMPING, DEMAGNETIZA-

TION AND RECTIFICATION

ULTRA-FAST, SOFT RECOVERY

VERY LOW OVERALL POWER LOSSES AND

PARTICULARY LOW FORWARD VOLTAGE

HIGH FREQUENCY OPERATION

HIGH REVERSE VOLTAGE CAPABILITY

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

TURBOSWITCH 1200V drastically cuts losses in

all high voltage operations which 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 primary of SMPS as snubber,

clamping or demagnetizing diodes. They are also

suitablefor the secondary of SMPS as high voltage

rectifier diodes.
