5.2 Calculating VT using ABCD Coefficients
The on-state characteristic IT vs. VT, on page 5 is represented in two ways;
(i)
(ii)
the well established Vo and rs tangent used for rating purposes and
a set of constants A, B, C, D, forming the coefficients of the representative equation for VT in
terms of IT given below:
VT A Bln
IT C IT D IT
The constants, derived by curve fitting software, are given below for both hot and cold characteristics. The
resulting values for VT agree with the true device characteristic over a current range, which is limited to
that plotted.
