Analyzer tests reverse-recovery behavior of diodes

摘要

Testing the reverse-recovery behavior of diodes normally requires rncomplex testing gear. You must be able to establish the forward-conduction conditions, the blocking state, and the transition between the two. You also need a means of extracting the characteristics from the resulting waveform. In short, a specialist should handle this complex job; it is not something you routinely control in the field.rnThis fact explains why engineers generally prefer to rely on published data.
