International Rectifier has introduced the world's first 1000V radiation-hardened power MOSFET.
The soft recovery characteristics can eliminate or reduce snubbing components in most design applications.
Low forward voltage drop reduces conduction losses and low reverse recovery current reduces power-switching losses.
All features combine to reduce power dissipation, operating temperature, physical size and weight, while increasing power supply efficiency and reliability.
In addition to typical high-reliability space and military applications, the new diodes may be used in moisture sensitive undersea fibre-optic drivers, telecommunications routers, commercial avionics and oil exploration instruments.
Supplied in a wide spectrum of surface-mount or through-hole packages for layout flexibility, the 200V rating makes each diode family ideal for space and high-reliability applications using a 100V bus.
The new family of diodes is available in single- and common-cathode configurations.
Packages include TO-254, TO-257, TO-258 and TO-259, as well as surface-mount SMD-0.5, SMD-1, hermetic D2 and D3 packages.
