30A, 600V Ultrafast Diode

Features

The RURG3060 is an ultrafast diode with soft recovery

characteristics (trr < 55ns). It has low forward voltage drop
and is silicon nitride passivated ion-implanted epitaxial
planar construction.

This device is intended for use as a freewheeling/clamping

diode and rectifier in a variety of switching power supplies
and other power switching applications. Its low stored charge
and ultrafast recovery with soft recovery characteristic
minimizes ringing and electrical noise in many power
switching circuits, thus reducing power loss in the switching
transistors.
