FRED is a high-performance fast diode prepared by epitaxial wafers and the ion implantation process with faster switching speed, smaller recovery charge Qrr and reverse recovery current IRRM, More accurate parameters, less switching loss, and better softness. The TO 277B package provides an excellent alternative to the DPAK, offering thermal performance nearly as good in a package occupying less than half the board space. Its low profile makes it a good option for flat panel display and other applications with limited vertical clearance. The device offers low leakage over temperature making it a good match for applications requiring low quiescent current.
