Abstract :
The lumped-charge modeling technique is used to build a simple, physics-based power diode model for circuit simulators. The model consists of simplified, but fundamental semiconductor device equations. The important characteristics of power diodes under static and dynamic conditions are obtained in this compact and efficient model
