Tutorial for Characterizing a Power Diode
Use the Power Diode Device Characterization Wizard to parameterize a power diode model to match both the DC and dynamic characteristics of a device using information from the manufacturer’s data sheet. The information available in the data sheet limits the accuracy of the parameterized power diode model if certain characteristics are not provided.
The wizard characterizes a wide array of power diodes. The available information varies from vendor to vendor, and even between devices from the same vendor. The following procedures include vendor-specific information for help in characterizing models for several vendors’ devices. If you have any additional questions, contact Ansys support.
Details about the Power Diode Model are in the Basic Elements section in the Components help.
