  • Abstract
    This paper illustrates several issues that a user of high voltage PiN diodes may encounter in actual application conditions. It shows that high-voltage power diodes require specifiable on-time prior to entering their reverse recovery phase and offers 1D device simulations and measurements taken on several actual high power diodes to illustrate and explain all the concepts introduced.
