TINA/Spice: TEST BENCH FOR DIODE

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TINA-TI

Tool/software: TINA-TI or Spice Models

Hi All,

Please provide test bench circuit for diode for following characteristics.

1.Forward Current Derating Curve.

2.Max Non-Repetitive Peak Forward Surge Current.

3. Typical Instanteous Forward Characteristics

4.Typical Junction Capacitance.

5.Typical Reverse Characteristics

6.Typical Transient Thermal Impedance Per Leg

7.if available please provide for other characteristics also.

  • Hi Mohan,

    Which specific TI diodes/parts are you using on this one for simulation?

  • Hi Herman ,
    Myself Mohan N working in R&D section ,for me I need single test bench solution for PN junction diode.
  • Hi Mohan,

    1. Our team which is assigned for this specific TI forum is not familiar with what you asked for other than simple diode tests such as foward voltage, reverse voltage test that can be done easy by forcing current sourcing or sinking into the diode through DC sweep analysis.

    2. I am asking some other group within TI (R&D group) if they can help/share. There is likelihood they don't have any since we don't manufacture discrete diodes (not that I am aware of). If they have any, there is also possibility that this is proprietary information that they don't want to share.

    If you don't hear any further from me on this post, this means we don't have any that we can offer you either due to non-availability and/or proprietary information.

  • Hi Mohan,

    Attached. This is the only thing I got from our R&D team. I guess this as much as we can share.

    For the other advanced or delicate testing, perhaps it's worthwhile if you search through google or youtube as well as perhaps IEEE Journal. I am hoping since you are part of R&D team in your company, hopefully you have access to IEEE technical journals.

    Another idea is to post a question into other company's forum that manufactures specifically diodes especially discrete diodes.

    If we have additional things in the coming weeks from other teams within TI that we can share, I'll keep you updated on this post.
