Description
International Rectifier's HFA15PB60 is a state of the art ultrafast recovery diode.
Employing the latest in epitaxial construction and advanced processing techniques
TO-247AC (Modified)
it features a superb combination of characteristics which result in performance
which is unsurpassed by any rectifier previously available. With basic ratings of
600 volts and 15 amps continuous current, the HFA15PB60 is especially well suit-
ed for use as the companion diode for IGBTs and MOSFETs. In addition to ultra
fast recovery time, the ultrafast recovery diode product line features extremely low
values of peak recovery current (IRRM) and does not exhibit any tendency to snap-of during the tb portion of recovery. The ultrafast recovery diode features
combine to offer designers a rectifier with lower noise and significantly lower
switching losses in both the diode and the switching transistor. These ultrafast ad-
vantages can help to significantly reduce snubbing, component count and heat
sink sizes. The HFA15PB60 is ideally suited for applications in power supplies and
power conversion systems (such as inverters), motor drives, and many other simi-
lar applications where high speed, high efficiency is needed.
