Description
Block Diode It is a piecewise linear diode.
If the voltage across the diode is greater than the value of the Forward voltage parameter, then the diode behaves like a linear resistor with a low resistance determined by the value of the On resistance parameter and a serial voltage source (voltage drop across the diode).
If the voltage across the diode is less than the forward voltage, then the diode behaves like a linear resistor with low conductivity, determined by the value of the conductivity parameter Off conductivity.
With forward bias, the diode characteristic is described by the equations:
,
,
Where
-
— tension;
-
— current;
-
— voltage of the serial source;
-
— direct voltage;
-
— resistance to forward displacement;
-
— conductivity at reverse displacement.
With a reverse bias, the diode characteristic is described by the equation:
.
Member ensures that there will be no gap in the current during the transition between forward and reverse offsets.
