1N4148 Diode: The Transfer Characteristic of The Diode: Current vs. Voltage
Diode Model:
.MODEL 1N4148 d (
+ KF=0 AF=1 )
Definition
When switching from the conducting to the blocking state, a diode or rectifier has stored charge
that must first be discharged before the diode blocks reverse current. This discharge takes a
finite amount of time known as the Reverse Recovery Time, or t rr. During this time, diode
current may flow in the reverse direction.
trr = max 4 ns
(reverse recovery time when switched from IF = 10 mA to IR = 60 mA; RL = 100 W; measured at IR = 1
mA)

x1=2.5024m
x2=2.5000m
=>trr=x1-x2=2.4ns
The graphic shows the dependency of the forward voltage and the forward current on
temperature. The traces correspond from left to right to the following temperatures: 125, 75,
25, 0 and -25 degrees Celsius.
If we place the cursor at 625mV, we obtain the following values for the currents:
I1=46.4771mA
I2=19.0471mA
I3=5.1186mA
I4=2.0982mA
I5=0.6951mA
These values differ a little from the datasheet, where we can read on the graphic the
next approximate values:
The graphic shows 5 traces, each corresponding to the temperatures 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200
degrees Celsius. The yellow traces corresponds to 200 degrees Celsius.
