Description

This component consists of a simple diode parallel with an ohmic resistance (R). The current (I) passing through this component is defined as a function of the voltage across the ports (V):

where Ids and Vt are the saturation current and the voltage equivalent of temperature, respectively. If the exponent reaches a certain limit (Max exponent for linear continuation), the diode characteristic becomes linear to avoid overflow.

Parameters

• Saturation current (A)

  Saturation current

  Properties : Type 'vec' of size 1.

• Voltage equivalent to temperature (Volt)

  Properties : Type 'vec' of size 1.

• Max exponent for linear continuation

  Max exponent for linear continuation

  Properties : Type 'vec' of size 1.

• R (ohm)

  Parallel ohmic resistance.
