1. Obtain expressions for on state and off state losses in a power diode.
Hint :
Ptotal=Pon+ Poff+Pswitching
Id
Vd Rd
Pon=IdxVd+Id2Rd
At low switching frequencies the off state losses ( I2 R rev) are negligible. They are considerable at
high switching frequencies. This includes the loss during reverse recovery which is accounted
under switching losses.
Pswitching =energy spent during reverse recovery x fs where fs is the switching frequency.
