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.
