8 pn Junction Diode : Transient Response
8.1 TURN-OFF TRANSIENT 8.1.1 Introduction trr: reverse recovery time ts : storage time or storage delay time trr: reverse recovery time tr : trr-ts For t<0 For t > trr
8.1.2 Qualitative Analysis Why is there a delay in going from the on-state to the off-state? In ideal p+-n diode, i=AJP(x)= -qADPdΔpn/dx|x=xn
8.1.3 The Storage Delay Time Quantitative Analysis Form the charge control approach, i=-IR for 0+≤t<ts giving (8.3) (8.4) (8.5) From QP(tS)=0
Measurement
8.1.4 General Information 8.2 TURN-ON TRANSIENT
From the charge control approach, (8.10) (8.11) (8.12) (8.13)
Under a steady state conditions, the stored hold charge in ideal diode VA→ vA … Steady state (8.14) (8.15) (8.16)
