Description
RURD640, RURD650, RURD660, RURD640S, RURD650S and
RURD660S (TA49038) are ultrafast diodes with soft recovery char- CATHODE
acteristics (tRR < 55ns). They have low forward voltage drop and are (FLANGE)
silicon nitride passivated ion-implanted epitaxial planar construction.
CATHODE
These devices are intended for use as freewheeling/clamping
ANODE
diodes and rectifiers in a variety of switching power supplies and
other power switching applications. Their low stored charge and
ultrafast soft recovery minimize ringing and electrical noise in
many power switching circuits reducing power loss in the switching
transistors. Symbol

DEFINITIONS
VF = Instantaneous forward voltage (pw = 300µs, D = 2%).
IR = Instantaneous reverse current.
tRR = Reverse recovery time (See Figure 2), summation of tA + tB.
tA = Time to reach peak reverse current (See Figure 2).
tB = Time from peak IRM to projected zero crossing of IRM based on a straight line from peak IRM through 25% of IRM (See Figure 2).
QRR = Reverse recovery charge.
CJ = Junction capacitance.
RθJC = Thermal resistance junction to case.
EAVL = Controlled avalanche energy. (See Figures 10 and 11).
pw = Pulse width.
D = Duty cycle.
