Input Voltage [V]<br />

Higher Current rating of the <str<strong>on</strong>g>Diode</str<strong>on</strong>g> will increase<br />

E<strong>on</strong>, but decrease Eoff (<str<strong>on</strong>g>Diode</str<strong>on</strong>g> capacitance acts as<br />

a snubber). E<strong>on</strong> is dominating!<br />
