Hello,

I am using Infineon T1401N and D3501N devices (datasheets at end) anti-parallel connected.

To prevent spurious turn-on I am designing a snubber for which I need the reverse recovery characteristics.

After some research I found that reverse recovery of these devices is high as they are not fast acting devices

If total transition time is tt. The time to IRM is roughly tt/3 and recovery time is 2*tt/3

Just wanted to make sure if that makes sense to others as well.

Datasheets:
