Step-Recovery Diode
|
 |
In the step-recovery diode the doping
level is gradually decreased as the junction is approached. This
reduces the switching time since the smaller amount of stored charge
near the junction can be released more rapidly when changing from
forward to
reverse bias. |
The forward current can also be established more
rapidly than in the ordinary
junction diode. This
diode is used in fast switching applications. |
