STTH12T06 600 V tandem extra fast diode Datasheet production data Features High voltage rectifier Tandem diodes in series Very low switching losses A K Insulated device with internal ceramic Equal thermal conditions for both 300 V diodes Static and dynamic equilibrium of internal diodes are warranted by design Insulated package: A Capacitance: 7 pF K Insulated voltage: 2500 V rms TO-220AC ins STTH12T06DI Description This device is part of ST s second generation of 600 V tandem diodes. It has ultralow switching- losses with a minimized Q (6.5 nC) that makes RR it perfect for use in circuits working in hard- Table 1. Device summary switching mode. In particular the V /Q trade-off F RR positions this device between standard ultrafast Symbol Value diodes and silicon-carbide Schottky rectifiers in I 12 A terms of price/performance ratio. F(AV) V 600 V RRM The device offers a new positioning giving more flexibility to power-circuit designers looking for t (typ) 15 ns rr good performance while still respecting cost I (typ) 2.3 A RM constraints. V (typ) 2.05 V F Featuring ST s Turbo 2 600 V technology, the I 65 A device is particularly suited as a boost diode in FRM continuous conduction mode power factor T (max) 175 C j correction circuits.
