What is an Ultrafast Recovery Diode?

Ultrafast Recovery Diode definition

A semiconductor diode with good switching characteristics and ultra-short reverse recovery time is commonly used as a continuous current, absorption, clamping, isolation, output and input rectifier for the switching device of a high-frequency inverter, so that the function of the switching device can be fully brought into play. Ultrafast recovery diode is an important and indispensable device for the development of high-frequency (above 20khz) and solid-state high-frequency equipment.
