5.0 Reverse Recovery Loss

The following procedure is recommended for use where it is necessary to include reverse recovery loss. From waveforms of recovery current obtained from a high frequency shunt (see Note 1) and reverse
voltage present during recovery, an instantaneous reverse rec overy loss waveform must be constructed. Let the area under this waveform be E joules per pulse. A new sink tem perature can then be evaluated from:
)(
Where k = 0.2314 (°C/W)/s
E
= Area under reverse loss waveform per pulse in joules (W.s.) = Rated frequency in Hz at the original sink temperature.
R
The total dissipation is now given by:
This device has a low reverse rec overed char ge and peak revers e rec overy current. When m easur ing the charge, care must be taken to ensure that:
amplitude forward current.
to avoid overloading the internal amplifiers by the relatively high amplitude forward current signal.
