8.2 Calculating VT/VF using ABCD Coefficients
The on-state/forward characteristics, IT vs. VT, on pages 6 & 11 are represented in two ways;
(i) the well established VT0 and rT tangent used for rating purposes and
(ii) 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 + B ×ln
(
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.
