Fast recovery dual diode for PFC and output rectification
The STTH30R06CW from STMicroelectronics is a 600 V, 15 A per diode fast recovery rectifier array in a common-cathode TO-247-3 package.
Parametric fit for PFC boost and output rectifier stages
The 50 ns trr allows the diode to recover quickly from conduction to blocking, which directly reduces switching losses in a continuous-conduction-mode (CCM) PFC boost converter operating at 50-100 kHz. The 600 V reverse voltage rating provides margin for 400 VDC bus rails in single-phase PFC stages, while the 175°C maximum junction temperature rating supports operation in thermally constrained enclosures where heatsinking is limited. The reverse leakage current is specified at 60 µA at the full 600 V blocking voltage, which is a typical figure for a fast recovery epitaxial diode (FRED) of this voltage class and matters for standby power dissipation.
