650-V Si diodes target frequencies from 18 to 100 kHz

The fast recovery 650-V Rapid 1 and Rapid 2 silicon diode families target high efficiency applications with switching frequencies between 18 and 100 kHz. The Rapid 1 diode family has a 1.35-V temperature-stable forward voltage (VF) for low conduction losses and a soft recovery to keep EMI emissions to a minimum. The devices suit power factor correction (PFC) topologies, typically found in major home appliances, like air conditioners and washing machines.

The Rapid 2 diode family targets switching needs between 40 and 100 kHz. It offers low reverse recovery charge (Qrr typically 50 to 100% better than competitors) and reverse recovery time (trr
