This document describes the features and characteristics of the DSEP 2x 60-12A HiPerFREDTM epitaxial diode by IXYS. The product features an international standard package (miniBLOC), isolation voltage of 2500V~, very short recovery time, extremely low switching losses, low IRM values, and soft recovery behavior. It is suitable for applications such as antiparallel diodes for high frequency switching devices, antisaturation diodes, snubber diodes, free wheeling diodes in converters and motor control circuits, rectifiers in switch mode power supplies (SMPS), and inductive heating.
The HiPerFRED™ Epitaxial Diode (DSEP 2x 60-12A) is a soft‑recovery, high‑frequency diode offered in an international standard miniBLOC (SOT‑227) package. It features very short recovery time, low switching losses, and low reverse leakage, making it suitable for high‑efficiency power conversion.
The document lists electrical ratings such as a maximum forward current of 100 A, isolation voltage of 2500 V, forward voltage drop of about 1.70 V at 60 A, and a reverse recovery time of 10 ms (50 Hz). It also outlines typical applications including snubber, free‑wheeling, UPS, inductive heating, and ultrasonic cleaning circuits.
