VF IF = 30A - - 1.8 V
IR VR = 1000V - - 250 µA
VR = 1000V, TC = 150oC - - 1 mA
DEFINITIONS
VF = Instantaneous forward voltage (pw = 300µs, D = 2%).
IR = Instantaneous reverse current.
trr = Reverse recovery time (See Figure 6), summation of ta + tb.
ta = Time to reach peak reverse current (See Figure 6).
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 6).
RθJC = Thermal resistance junction to case.
pw = pulse width.
D = duty cycle.
