This device allows current to flow in only one direction (from negative/anode to positive/cathode port) and restricts current from flowing in the opposite direction. The transition between blocking and conduction states depends only on the voltage applied across it (spontaneous commutation).
Parameters
Internal on resistance (Ron) | The diode internal on resistance, in ohms (Ω). |
|---|---|
Internal off Resistance (Roff) | The diode internal off resistance, in ohms (Ω). |
Discrete-time switch conductance (Gs) | The discrete-time switch conductance, in S. See How to tune discrete-time switch condutance for detailed explanation. |
Relaxation (Relax) | The relaxation parameter of the switch. Values can range between 0.1 for maximum performance or 10 for maximum stability. See How to tune single switch parameters for detailed explanation. |
Damping resistance (Rdamp) | Damping resistance value, in ohms (Ω). See How to tune single switch parameters for detailed explanation. |
Electrical Ports
From top to bottom, the electrical ports are the positive and negative ports of the source respectively named p1 and n1
