What is the junction capacitance (Cj) range for HVD diodes?

Junction capacitance (Cj) is a critical parameter for high-frequency diode applications as it directly impacts switching losses and circuit bandwidth. HVC's HVD series offers:

HVD SeriesTypical Cj RangeMeasurement ConditionFrequency Impact
HVD-Standard (5-30kV)3pF – 12pFVR = 50% VRRM, f = 1MHzSuitable to ~10MHz
HVD-Fast Recovery2pF – 8pFVR = 50% VRRM, f = 1MHzSuitable to ~30MHz
HVD-UltraHigh Voltage (50-100kV)5pF – 20pFVR = 50% VRRM, f = 100kHzSuitable to ~5MHz
HVD-High Current (0.5-5A)15pF – 50pFVR = 50% VRRM, f = 1MHzSuitable to ~5MHz

Design Note: Junction capacitance varies with applied reverse voltage — it decreases as reverse voltage increases (varactor-like behavior). HVC provides Cj vs VR curves in full datasheets for accurate circuit simulation. For Cockcroft-Walton multiplier designs, lower Cj improves high-frequency efficiency but is secondary to PDIV and surge ratings for most 50/60Hz industrial applications.
