About this document
Scope and purpose
This document introduces the Rapid Diodes, high voltage hyperfast silicon diodes from Infineon. Based on
ultra-thin wafer technology, two families of Rapid Diodes are released to cover different target application
requirements. This application note is designed to show how the Rapid Diode improves existing system
solutions in terms of system efficiency.
Intended audience
Design engineers who want to improve their system for reliability and efficiency
