Overview
The RHRP30120 is a hyperfast diode produced by onsemi, characterized by its soft recovery characteristics. It features the half recovery time of ultrafast diodes and is constructed using silicon nitride passivated ion-implanted epitaxial planar technology. This diode is designed for use as freewheeling/clamping diodes and in various switching power supplies and other power switching applications. Its low stored charge and hyperfast soft recovery minimize ringing and electrical noise, thereby reducing power loss in switching transistors.
