Ideal Diode

Ideal diode

Modelica Standard Library

	Description
	The Ideal Diode component models a diode with an on-state resistance of $R_{on}$ and an off-state conductance of $G_{off}$ . An optional thermal port is enabled when the Use Heat Port is true.

	Equations
	$i = i_{p} = - i_{n}$ $v = v_{p} - v_{n}$ ${\begin{array}{c} i = v G_{off} & v < V_{knee} \\ v = i R_{on} & otherwise \end{array}$ $LossPower = v i$
