Please note: As part of the Fairchild Semiconductor integration, some of the Fairchild orderable part numbers
will need to change in order to meet ON Semiconductor’s system requirements. Since the ON Semiconductor
product management systems do not have the ability to manage part nomenclature that utilizes an underscore
(_), the underscore (_) in the Fairchild part numbers will be changed to a dash (-). This document may contain
device numbers with an underscore (_). Please check the ON Semiconductor website to verify the updated
device numbers. The most current and up-to-date ordering information can be found at www.onsemi.com. Please
email any questions regarding the system integration to Fairchild_questions@onsemi.com.

RHRP8120
November 2013
Data Sheet
8 A, 1200 V, Hyperfast Diode
Features
• Hyperfast Recovery trr = 70 ns (@ IF= 8 A)
• Max Forward Voltage, VF = 3.2 V (@ TC = 25°C)
The RHRP8120 is a hyperfast diode with soft recovery
characteristics. It has the half recovery time of ultrafast
diodes and is silicon nitride passivated ionimplanted
epitaxial planar construction. These devices are
intended to be used as freewheeling/ clamping diodes
and diodes in a variety of switching power supplies and
other power switching applications. Their low stored
charge and hyperfast soft recovery minimize ringing and
electrical noise in many power switching circuits
reducing power loss in the switching transistors.
• 1200 V Reverse Voltage and High Reliability
• Avalanche Energy Rated
• RoHS Compliant
Applications
• Switching Power Supplies
• Power Switching Circuits
• General Purpose
