exceed 300 A/µs at any time during turn-on. Note that these values of rate of rise of current apply to the
total device current including that from any local snubber network.

The 100% duty cycle is represented on all the ratings by a straight line. Other duties can be included as
parallel to the first.

12.1 Determination by Measurement
From waveforms of recovery current obtained from a high frequency shunt (see Note 1, Page 5) and
reverse voltage present during recovery, an instantaneous reverse recovery loss waveform must be
constructed. Let the area under this waveform be E joules per pulse. A new heat sink temperature can
then be evaluated from:

12.2 Determination without Measurement
In circumstances where it is not possible to measure voltage and current conditions, or for design
purposes, the additional losses E in joules may be estimated as follows.

A suitable R-C snubber network is connected across the thyristor to restrict the transient reverse voltage
waveform to a peak value (V
RM
) of 67% of the maximum grade. If a different grade is being used or V
RM
is
other than 67% of Grade, the reverse loss may be approximated by a pro rata adjustment of the maximum
value obtained from the curves.
NOTE 1-
Reverse Recovery Loss by Measurement
This thyristor has a low reverse recovered charge and peak reverse recovery current. When measuring
the charge care must be taken to ensure that:
(a) a.c. coupled devices such as current transformers are not affected by prior passage of high
amplitude forward current.
(b) A suitable, polarised, clipping circuit must be connected to the input of the measuring oscilloscope
to avoid overloading the internal amplifiers by the relatively high amplitude forward current signal
(c) Measurement of reverse recovery waveform should be carried out with an appropriate critically
damped snubber, connected across diode anode to cathode. The formula used for the calculation
of this snubber is shown below:

Where: V

R = Snubber resistance
13.0 Gate Drive
The recommended pulse gate drive is 20V, 10Ω with a short-circuit current rise time of not more than
0.5µs. This gate drive must be applied when using the full di/dt capability of the device.
The duration of pulse may need to be configured with respect to the application but should be no shorter
than 20µs, otherwise an increase in pulse current could be needed to supply the resulting increase in
charge to trigger.
