Using power diode models for circuit simulations-a comprehensive review

摘要

In recent years, a number of new models for the power diode have been proposed. The objectives of this paper are to provide the power electronics community with a comprehensive review and summary of recent power diode models. The models have been categorized systematically according to their modeling concepts with objective comparison of their status pertaining to the various modeling issues. A summary table has been created to aid power circuit design engineers and power rectifier device engineers in selecting appropriate models for their applications.
