Abstract
SummaryIn this paper, both experimetal and simulation results, showing the effects of Junction temperature, forward current and the rate of fall of forward current, or commutating di/dt on the reverse recoveyr behaviour of modern fast power diodes are presented. The main parameters used to characterise the reverse recover performance of a semiconductor diode, are the reverse recovery charge, peak recovery current and reverse recovery time. The diode snappiness phenomenon due to a current chop-off during reverse recovery, was also investigated and linked with the above parameters.
