RHRP8120
Data Sheet
November 2013
Features
8 A, 1200 V, Hyperfast Diode
• Hyperfast Recovery trr = 70 ns (@ IF= 8 A)
• Max Forward Voltage, VF = 3.2 V (@ TC = 25°C)
• 1200 V Reverse Voltage and High Reliability
• Avalanche Energy Rated
The RHRP8120 is a hyperfast diode with soft recovery
characteristics. It has the half recovery time of ultrafast
diodes and is silicon nitride passivated ionimplanted
epitaxial planar construction. These devices are
intended to be used as freewheeling/ clamping diodes
and diodes in a variety of switching power supplies and
other power switching applications. Their low stored
charge and hyperfast soft recovery minimize ringing and
electrical noise in many power switching circuits
reducing power loss in the switching transistors.
• RoHS Compliant
Applications
• Switching Power Supplies
• Power Switching Circuits
• General Purpose
