Diode IFSM estimation
Hello
I need to estimate IFSM for certain current pulse.
Does anyone know how to do it?
I found this app note :
Schottky diode avalanche performance in automotive applications (st.com)
But it is not clear the method as intervals are weird :
I ^4 x t = Cste for tsin>10 ms
I ^3 x t = Cste for 20 µs < tsin >10 ms
I ^2 x t = Cste for tsin<20 ms
and not sure if this is also applicable for standard diodes.
In addition, I wonder how to derate for different temperature in case datasheet does not contain this information.
Tks.
