The Rapid 2 diode family is designed for applications switching between 40kHz and 100kHz by offering low reverse recovery charge (Q rr) and time (t rr) to minimize the reverse conduction times attributed to the power switch turn-on losses and thus providing maximum efficiency.
Infineon`s Rapid 1 diode family, with 1.35V temperature-stable forward voltage (V F), ensures the lowest conduction losses and by means of soft recovery keeps EMI emissions to a minimum. The devices are perfectly suited for Power Factor Correction (PFC) topologies, typically found in major home appliances such as air conditioners and washing machines.
Rapid 1 and Rapid 2 power silicon diodes fill the gap between the SiC diodes and emitter-controlled diodes and now come in common cathode configuration with up to 80A/650V, allowing design optimization for more compact dimensions, easier assembly and consequently lower costs.
