Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. introduced 10 new FRED Pt® Gen 5 600 V Hyperfast and Ultrafast rectifiers. The Vishay Semiconductors rectifiers are designed to increase the efficiency of AC/DC and DC/DC converters and of hard- and soft-switched or resonant designs.
The devices offer 48 % lower reverse recovery losses than previous-generation FRED Pt solutions while maintaining low conduction and switching losses. The result is improved light- and full-load efficiency in high speed LLC output rectification stages for EV / HEV battery charging stations and high frequency stages for UPS applications.
The rectifiers are available in TO-220AC and TO-247AD packages and X-type Hyperfast and H-type Ultrafast speed class.
