As we have already known that reverse recovery time is the time it takes to invert the minority charge distribution of diode from forward biase to minority charge distribution in reverse biase. Hence when we increase the doping of material, the concentration fo minority charge carriers decrease. Hence as the peaks of charge distribution have […]

DIODE: Reverse Recovery Time
Now let’s analyze that what would happen when we change diode state from forward biase from reverse biase. This state change takes time which is known as reverse recovery time. Consider the following circuit of diode to analyze the switching time of diode. When the diode is in forward biase, the minority charge distribution of […]
Switching time of Diode
The switching time of a diode is defined as the time which a diode takes to change its state from forward biased state to reverse biased state or in other words the forward current through diode doesn’t reduce to reverse saturation current immediately as the reverse voltage is applied. In fact it takes time for […]
