Bodo’s Power Systems – Reverse Recovery Charge Is Not a Constant

Reverse recovery charge, QRR, is one of those parameters most power engineers know well. It appears prominently in MOSFET datasheets, it finds its way into switching-loss equations, and it is often used to compare devices when efficiency matters. The problem is not that QRR is unimportant; it is that it is commonly misunderstood.
