DESCRIPTION
The TURBOSWITCH is a very high performance control freewheelapplicationsand in booster diode
series of ultra-fast high voltage power diodes from applications in power factor control circuitries.
600V to 1200V. Packaged either in TO-220AC, insulated
TURBOSWITCH family, drastically cuts losses in TO-220AC or in D2PAK, these 600V devices are
both the diode and the associated switching IGBT particularly intended for use on 240V domestic
or MOSFET in all ”freewheel mode” operations mains.
and is particularly suitable and efficient in motor

APPLICATION DATA
The TURBOSWITCH is especially designed to transistor, thus optimizing the overall performance
provide the lowest overall power losses in any in the end application.
”FREEWHEEL Mode” application (Fig.A) The way of calculating the power losses is given
considering both the diode and the companion below:
