45 ns trr — why it matters for the PFC boost stage
That trr places it in the ultrafast class, suited for hard-switching topologies like power-factor-correction boost converters and secondary-side output rectification in 400 V DC-bus supplies.
Obsolete — no official successor listed
STMicroelectronics lists the STTH20R04G as Obsolete.
Parametric profile for the repair or replacement search
The 400 V DC reverse voltage and 20 A average rectified current define the primary operating envelope. Forward voltage is 1.7 V at 20 A, which sets the conduction loss at full load. Reverse leakage is 20 µA at 400 V. The 45 ns trr is fast enough for switching frequencies typical of PFC stages, but the designer should verify that the recovery charge does not exceed the switching device's SOA.
