Diode recovery time


Understanding the parameters of "diode recovery time" .For prospective technicians are still learning and inexperienced, they generally recognize only two kinds of parameters of a diode, namely:

  • The maximum working voltage (bias voltage when he gets back - or when not deliver - or when "off")
  • The maximum operating current (when he gets a forward bias voltage of - or as leads - or when "on")
Understanding the parameters of "diode recovery time"
Fast Recovery diodes
A similar experience we had some twenty years ago when a new SMPS first introduced on the television. When there is a diode voltage B + is broken. And then we replace the diode from the outside (our point of diode being sold in stores, rather than the official service) diode turns hot and soon broken. We think that the replacement diode voltage or current is less bulky. Then after replacement with a larger, but the result remains the same damage. Finally we order the diode with the same part number, and when the part arrived and was installed wrong results immediately.

Then why the diode is purchased in the market is hot and faulty? Actually there are many other parameters that have a diode. One more thing to be understood by a technician is called a "diode recovery time".
Common diode rectifier is used for the power supply circuits of 50Hz, when he gets forward biased diode voltage will deliver ("on"). Then, if the bias voltage is turned upside down then the diode does not turn into leads ("off"). If the diode is then mounted on a high-frequency ac voltage. So when given the diode forward bias voltage will deliver ("on") as usual. But when the bias voltage is turned upside down, apparently indirect diode can turn into "off" quickly. 

There is a delay of a minute to "off" so that when the bias voltage is turned "off" there is still a bit of reverse leakage current. If the frequency of the ac leakage current was further compounded the greater the return. Reverse leakage current is what causes the diode to be hot.
Diode recovery time is a parameter of a diode which shows the "time" needed for the change of position "on" to "off" position. The smaller the value the better the recovery time is used at high frequencies.


Based on the parameters of the diode recovery time, then this type of diode is classified into:
  • Diode general, for the rectifier AC voltage
  • Fast Recovery Diode, used in the circuit and the flyback SMPS with a frequency of approximately 35 Khz
  • Super Fast recovery diode, used in SMPS circuits with a frequency of about 70 to 80 Khz.
  • Tips to find the diode equation.
  • If we can not get the diode with the same part number, then we will usually replace it with another part number. We will replace the diode with the diode used in the same location. For example, diode B +-A model of the television is broken, then we will replace the B + diode that is used by television B or C.

TDA2030 complete tone control

At this time I present a series of amplifiers that use IC TDA2030, but this series is equipped with a tone control. Tone controls include Bass, Treebel, and Volume. Power amplifier and tone control has been put together in a single PCB. As well as its power supply circuit was also used as one with the power amp, and tone control. Making it easier in the installation and will look neat. Schematics Layout PCB PCB design This amplifier is a mono amplifier type, can be modif for guitar amplifiers. If not coupled amplifier (mic preamp) then you must deactivated potensio treble and bass, why? because if not using a mic preamp and still maintain potensio treble and bass sound input (input) from the guitar will not or the maximum discharge is not tight on the speakers. So you must deactivated a way to decide which directly connected capacitor with the tone control circuit, and capacitor were connected directly to potensio volume and input jack.

PID instruction in Allen Bradley PLC Closed Loop Control

PID instruction in Allen Bradley PLC [Proportional/Integral/Derivative] Closed Loop Control For   Processor SLC 5/02SLC 5/03SLC 5/04SLC 5/05    MicroLogix 1200 and MicroLogix 1500 (A special PID file replaces the old integer file control block.) Description of PID in PLC   This output instruction is used to control physical properties such as temperature, pressure, liquid level, or flow rate of process loops. The PID instruction normally controls a closed loop using inputs from an analog input module and providing an output to an analog output module as a response to effectively hold a process variable at a desired set point. The PID equation controls the process by sending an output signal to the actuator. The greater the error between the setpoint and the process variable input, the greater the output signal, and vice versa. An additional value (feed forward or bias) can be added to the control output as an offset. The result of the PID calculation (control vari...

NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram

The NE566 Function Generator is a Voltage-Controlled Oscillator of exceptional linearity with buf fered square wave and triangle wave outputs. The frequency of oscillation is determined by an external resistor and capacitor and the voltage applied to the control terminal. The Oscillator CAN be programmed over a ten-to-one frequency range by proper selection of an external resistance and modulated over a ten-to-one range by the control voltage, with exceptional linearity.  FMAX = 1 MHz     WIDE 1000:1 Continuous Sweep Possible  NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram Pdf Datasheet  Sourced by : Circuitsstream
