diode forward conduction heat calculator online

Use diode forward conduction heat online for forward V, average current A, duty pct. Current is average during conduction; reverse recovery excluded. Ideal nominal component model. Verify topology, operating range, tolerances and ratings against the actual component datasheet.

How to use it

Enter forward V. Set average current A, duty pct. Select Calculate and check the labeled output. Copy or download the JSON result.

Options and example settings

OptionChoices / valueExample default
forward VMain input. Positive values. 0.7
average current AOption. Zero or positive values. 1
duty pctOption. Zero or positive values. Maximum 100.100

Calculation method

dissipation_W = forward_V*average_current_A*duty_pct/100 (^ means exponentiation; trig functions ending in d use degrees).

Worked examples

Apply diode forward conduction heat to the case below, keeping the displayed units and assumptions. Current is average during conduction; reverse recovery excluded.

Diode Forward Conduction Heat — worked case

Settings: average current A: 1; duty pct: 100

Input:

0.7

Calculated result for these inputs:

Output:

{
  "dissipation_W": 0.7
}

Choose the right tool

Match the topology before entering values: series and parallel networks, inverting and noninverting stages, and buck and boost converters use different equations. Component ratings, parasitics, protection and measured conditions require separate review.

Limitations and common mistakes

  • Current is average during conduction; reverse recovery excluded. Ideal nominal component model. Verify topology, operating range, tolerances and ratings against the actual component datasheet.
  • Use the displayed unit in every field. Ratios and percentages are different inputs; percent fields use values such as 25 rather than 0.25.
