Description
This device is part of ST's second generation of
600 V tandem diodes. It has ultralow switching-
losses with a minimized Q
RR
that makes it perfect
for use in circuits working in hard-switching mode.
In particular the V
F
/Q
RR
trade-off positions this
device between standard ultrafast diodes and
silicon-carbide Schottky rectifiers in terms of
price/performance ratio.
The device offers a new positioning giving more
flexibility to power-circuit designers looking for
good performance while still respecting cost
constraints.
Featuring ST's Turbo 2 600 V technology, the
device is particularly suited as a boost diode in
continuous conduction mode power factor
correction circuits.
