FEATURES AND BENEFITS

The TURBOSWITCH is a very high performance

series of ultra-fast high voltage power diodes from

600V to 1200V.

TURBOSWITCH "A" family drastically cuts losses

in both the diode and the associated switching

IGBT or MOSFET in all "Freewheel Mode"

operations and is particulary suitable and efficient

in Motor Control Freewheel applications and in

Booster diode applications in Power Factor Control

circuitries.

Packaged in SMC surface mount envelope, these

600V devices are particularly intended for use on

240V domestic mains.
