The RURG8060 is an ultrafast diode with soft recovery characteristics (trr < 75ns) and low forward voltage drop. It is made with silicon nitride passivated ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction. This device is intended for use as a freewheeling/clamping diode and rectifier in a variety of switching power supplies and other power switching applications. Its low stored charge and ultrafast recovery with soft recovery characteristic minimize ringing and electrical noise in many power switching circuits, thus reducing power loss in the switching transistors. Formerly developmental type TA09886.
