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.

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

Transceiver Homebrew QRP SSB 80M Band

Radio communication transceiver is a radio transmitter at the same time the plane doubles as a radio receiver used for communication purposes. It consists of the transmitter and the receiver are assembled in an integrated way. In mulamula generation, the transmitter or receiver or transmitter and receiver sections are assembled separately and is part of a stand sendirisendiri and can work well sendirisendiri Currently employed both parts are integrated in turn. Aircraft simple transmitter consists of an oscillator generating radio vibration and this vibration after vibration boarded with our voice, in a technique called dimodulir radio, then by the antenna is converted into radio waves and transmitted. As we know that the sound waves we can not reach long distances, although its power is quite large, while the radio waves with a relatively small force can reach a distance of thousands of kilometers. In order for our voice can reach a far distance, then our voice superimposed on radio w...
