Wassup, newbie here
This looks like a very nice forum! I've checked on some of the allaboutcircuits.com lessons and they're really informative!
Okay...
If I were to compare the trr between 1N4148, UF5408, 1N3595.
I'm not specifically trying to compare those two diodes, but just as an example.
I chose those because they seem to have very different test conditions.
1N4148 (http://www.futurlec.com/Datasheet/Diodes…
Test condition:
when switched from IF = 10 mA to
IR = 60 mA; RL = 100 Ω;
measured at IR = 1 mA
Results: 4ns
UF5408 (http://www.futurlec.com/Datasheet/Diodes…
Test condition:
IF = 0.5 A,
IR = 1.0 A,
Irr = 0.25 A
Results: 75ns
1N3595 (http://www.fairchildsemi.com/ds/1N/1N359…
Test condition:
IF = 10 mA,
VR = 3.5,
RL = 1.0 kΩ
Results: 3µs
So, perhaps I can get a value that is relative like reverse recovery speed?
I'm still very new to this...
Can also explain what is IF, IR, Irr, RL, and VR?
Thank you very much!
