The new extra fast soft recovery diodes are diodes capable of operating at high commutation rates. It has low reverse recovery current and is outstanding in their dynamic characteristics. In this ...

Vishay Intertechnology VSH unveiled two new 1200 V FRED Pt Hyperfast rectifiers, namely VS-E7MH0112-M3 and VS-E7MH0112HM3c, in its Gen 7 platform. Notably, both devices come in an SMA (DO-214AC) ...

Infineon Technologies has unveiled a diode family designed for modern IGBT applications. The Infineon Prime Soft features an improved turn-off capability which now rates at 5 kA/µs. Prime Soft is ...

Recent developments in IGBT and FWD (free wheeling diode) devices are enabling designers to achieve higher switching performance, lower electrical losses, and higher temperature operation in high ...

Fraunhofer IAF has developed a monolithic bidirectional switch with a blocking voltage of 1200 V using its GaN-on-insulator technology. The switch contains two free-wheeling diodes and can deliver ...

Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) has launched a 6.5 kV power module that features IGBT and freewheeling diode functionality integrated into a single chip. This new RCDC (Reverse ...

Rohm has developed its 4th generation 650V fast recovery diodes (FRDs), balancing forward voltage and reverse-recovery time for high-power industrial and consumer equipment including air conditioners ...

In looking at any buck converter point-of-load regulator designed today, chances are that it uses synchronous rectification rather than a conventional diode for freewheeling Eric Persson, Executive ...

Infineon is sampling a 6.5 kV power module that features IGBT and freewheeling diode functionality integrated into a single chip. This RCDC (Reverse Conducting IGBT with Diode Control) chip is for ...

This Design Idea is able to turn off inductive loads at a very fast rate. When connected to a load (here 15mH + 10?), the modified freewheeling path in the clamping circuit based around M2 reduces the ...
