      ORDERING INFORMATION

See detailed ordering and shipping information in the package dimensions section on page 6 of this data sheet.

  For a square wave input of amplitude Vm, the efficiency factor becomes:

   (A full wave circuit has twice these efficiencies)

   As the frequency of the input signal is increased, the reverse recovery time of the diode (Figure 10) becomes significant, resulting in an increasing AC voltage component across RL which is opposite in polarity to the forward current, thereby reducing the value of the efficiency factor σ, as shown on Figure 9.

   It should be emphasized that Figure 9 shows waveform efficiency only; it does not provide a measure of diode losses. Data was obtained by measuring the AC component of Vo with a true rms AC voltmeter and the DC component with a DC voltmeter. The data was used in Equation 1 to obtain points for Figure 9.
