August 2011Doc ID 3607 Rev 31/12AN604Application noteCalculation of conduction losses in a power rectifierIntroductionThis Application note explains how to calculate conduction losses in a power diode by taking into account the forward voltage dependence on temperature and the current ideal current and voltage waveforms of an ultrafast diode in a power supply system during a switching cycle are shown in Figure current and voltage waveforms of a diode in a switch mode power supplyThe conduction losses in a diode appear when the diode is in forward conduction mode due to the on-state voltage drop (VF). Most of the time the conduction losses are the main contributor to the total diode power losses and the junction temperature rising.
