Description
International Rectifier's HFA15TB60PbF is a state of the art ultrafast recovery diode.
Employing the latest in epitaxial construction and advanced processing techniques 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
8 amps per Leg continuous current, the HFA15TB60PbF is especially well suited 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-off" during the t
b
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 recovery diode advantages can help to
significantly reduce snubbing, component count and heat sink sizes. The
HFA15TB60PbF is ideally suited for applications in power supplies and power con-
version systems (such as inverters), motor drives, and many other similar applica-
tions where high speed, high efficiency is needed.
