Forward Characteristic of Rectifier Diodes (IF-VF Characteristic)
Download "Chapter II : Diodes" (PDF:895KB)
Forward characteristic of rectifier diode varies according to current level and temperature.
At low-current region, VF is low at high temperature, and the opposite is true at high-current region.
In general, the diode should be used with a sufficient temperature margin below the Q point, which is the cross point of the above two conditions.
