Reverse Breakdown Voltage: A crucial parameter of a high-voltage diode is its reverse breakdown voltage, representing the maximum voltage at which the diode can safely operate under reverse bias. When this voltage exceeds this value, the diode may break down, leading to damage or failure.
Forward Voltage Drop: This refers to the voltage drop across the diode when it is forward-biased, typically between 0.7V and 1.5V, depending on the materials and design. High-voltage diodes generally have a low forward voltage drop to improve conversion efficiency.
Recovery Time: This refers to the time required for the diode to turn on again from the off state. In high-frequency applications, a shorter recovery time indicates better performance.
