FEATURES AND BENEFITS

The TURBOSWITCH is a very high performance

series of ultra-fast high voltage power diodes.

TURBOSWITCH family, drastically cuts losses in

both the diode and the associated switching IGBT

or MOSFET in all freewheel mode operations and

is particularly suitable and efficient in motor control

freewheel applications and in booster diode

applications in power factor control circuitries.

Packaged in DO-201AD this 600V device is

particularly intended for use on 240V domestic

mains.
