Forward Bias --- External battery makes the Anode more positive than the Cathode --- Current flows in the direction of the arrow in the symbol. Reverse Bias --- External battery makes the Cathode more positive than the Anode --- A tiny current flows opposite to the arrow in the symbol.
Reverse breakdown
Mathematical Approximation
VD VT
ID =Is (e
-1)
ta is the time to remove the charge stored in the depletion region of the junction
tb is the time to remove the charge stored in the bulk semiconductor material
Reverse recovery time = trr = ta+tb Peak Reverse Current = IRR = ta(di/dt)
Reverse recovery time = trr = ta+tb Peak Reverse Current = IRR = ta(di/dt)
Series-Connected Diodes
Use 2 diodes in series to withstand higher reverse breakdown voltage. Both diodes conduct the same reverse saturation current, Is.
Diode Characteristics
Due to differences between devices, each diode has a different voltage across it. Would like to Equalize the voltages.
Example 2.3
Is1 = 30mA, Is2 = 35mA VD = 5kV (a) R1=R2=R=100k, find VD1 and VD2 (b) Find R1 and R2 for VD1=VD2=VD/2
