Provisional Data Sheet, Type E1500NH48P Issue 2 V August, 2006 WESTCODE An IXYS Company High Power Sonic FRD Type E1500NH48P Notes on Ratings and Characteristics 1.0 De-rating Factor A blocking voltage de-rating factor of 0.13% per °C is applicable to this device for Tj below 25°C. 2.0 ABCD Constants These constants (applicable only over current range of VF characteristic in Figure 1) are the coefficients of the expression for the forward characteristic given below: VF = A + B ⋅ ln(I F ) + C ⋅ I F + D ⋅ I F where IF = instantaneous forward current. 3.0 Reverse recovery ratings (i) Qra is based on 50% Irm chord as shown in the figure below. (ii) Qrr is based on a 150µs integration time. 150 µs i.e. Qrr = ∫i rr .dt 0 (iii) Provisional Data Sheet, Type E1500NH48P Issue 2 K Factor = t1 t2 Page 3 of 11 August, 2006 WESTCODE An IXYS Company High Power Sonic FRD Type E1500NH48P 4.0 Reverse Recovery Loss The following procedure is recommended for use where it is necessary to include reverse recovery loss. From waveforms of recovery current obtained from a high frequency shunt (see Note 1) and reverse voltage present during recovery, an instantaneous reverse recovery loss waveform must be constructed. Let the area under this waveform be E joules per pulse. A new sink temperature can then be evaluated from: TK = T j ( MAX ) − E ⋅ [k + f ⋅ RthJK ] Where k = 0.2314 (°C/W)/s E = Area under reverse loss waveform per pulse in joules (W.s.) f = Rated frequency in Hz at the original sink temperature. RthJK = d.c. thermal resistance (°C/W) The total dissipation is now given by: W( tot ) = W( original ) + E ⋅ f NOTE 1 - Reverse Recovery Loss by Measurement This device has a low reverse recovered charge and peak reverse recovery current. When measuring the charge, care must be taken to ensure that: (a) AC coupled devices such as current transformers are not affected by prior passage of high amplitude forward current. (b) A suitable, polarised, clipping circuit must be connected to the input of the measuring oscilloscope to avoid overloading the internal amplifiers by the relatively high amplitude forward current signal. (c) Measurement of reverse recovery waveform should be carried out with an appropriate critically damped snubber, connected across diode anode to cathode. The formula used for the calculation of this snubber is shown below: R2 = 4 ⋅ Where: Vr CS ⋅ di dt Vr = Commutating source voltage CS = Snubber capacitance R = Snubber resistance Provisional Data Sheet, Type E1500NH48P Issue 2 Page 4 of 11 August, 2006 WESTCODE An IXYS Company High Power Sonic FRD Type E1500NH48P 5.0 Computer Modelling Parameters 5.1 Device Dissipation Calculations 2 I AV − VT 0 + VT 0 + 4 ⋅ ff 2 ⋅ rT ⋅ WAV = 2 ⋅ ff 2 ⋅ rT Where VT0 =1.417V, rT = 0.656mΩ ff = form factor (normally unity for fast diode applications) WAV = ∆T Rth ∆T = T j ( MAX ) − TK 5.2 Calculation of VF using ABCD Coefficients The forward characteristic IF Vs VF, on page 6 is represented in two ways; (i) the well established VT0 and rT tangent used for rating purposes and (ii) a set of constants A, B, C, and D forming the coefficients of the representative equation for VF in terms of IF given below: VF = A + B ⋅ ln(I F ) + C ⋅ I F + D ⋅ I F The constants, derived by curve fitting software, are given in this report for both hot and cold characteristics. The resulting values for VF agree with the true device characteristic over a current range, which is limited to that plotted. 25°C Coefficients 150°C Coefficients A 1.244726 B -0.06647227 -6 A 1.340995 B -0.1059655 -5 C 3.417340×10 C 3.735374×10 D 0.03402272 D 0.04593112 Provisional Data Sheet, Type E1500NH48P Issue 2 Page 5 of 11 August, 2006 WESTCODE An IXYS Company High Power Sonic FRD Type E1500NH48P Curves Figure 1 – Forward characteristics of Limit device Figure 2 – Maximum forward recovery voltage 10000 1000 E1500NH48P AD Issue 2 E1500NH48P AD Issue 2 140°C 140°C Maximum forward recovery voltage -
