Abstract :
A simple method is presented to simulate diode selfheating using SPICE without the need for source code modification. A unique equivalent transformation between temperature-dependent and nondependent devices is developed. By using a subcircuit to describe this transformation, it is shown that diode selfheating may be readily simulated.
