DEFINITIONS
VF = Instantaneous forward voltage (pw = 300s, D = 2%).
IR = Instantaneous reverse current.
trr = Reverse recovery time (See Figure 9), summation of ta + tb.
ta = Time to reach peak reverse current (See Figure 9).
tb = Time from peak IRM to projected zero crossing of IRM based on a straight line from peak IRM through 25% of IRM (See Figure 9).
QRR = Reverse Recovery Charge.
CJ = Junction Capacitance.
RJC = Thermal resistance junction to case.
pw = pulse width.
D = duty cycle.
