The RHRP860 is a Hyperfast Diode with soft recovery characteristics. They have half the recovery time of ultrafast diodes and are silicon nitride passivated ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction. This device is intended for use as freewheeling/clamping diodes and rectifiers 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.
