Description
This device is part of ST's second generation of 600 V tandem diodes. It has ultralow switchinglosses with a minimized QRR (6 nC) that makes it perfect for use in circuits working in hardswitching mode. In particular the VF/QRR 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.
