Feature Summary

• Fast recovery characteristics with a 30 ns reverse recovery time
• High thermal stability across extended temperature ranges
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency

Applications

• High-frequency DC-DC converters
• Free-wheeling diodes in switch-mode power supplies
• Polarity protection circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., US/TR) to confirm package type and reel quantity. Confirm RoHS compliance status as it varies by manufacturing lot. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required lead time and production cycle constraints provided by the manufacturer.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V blocking capability and 3 A continuous current are required. The 30 ns recovery time makes it suitable for frequencies where standard rectifiers would exhibit excessive losses. Compare against similar series members for pin compatibility if space is constrained.

Part Context

This part belongs to the general-purpose fast recovery rectifier family from Microchip Technology. It complements other devices in the series offering different voltage or current ratings while maintaining consistent performance metrics for industrial and commercial power electronics designs.

Replacement Considerations

Check datasheets for direct substitutes within the same voltage and current class. Verify that alternative parts meet the 30 ns reverse recovery requirement and operate within the specified -65°C to +155°C junction temperature range.
