Ideal leaking Zener diode of analog electrical library

Extends from Interfaces.OnePort (OnePort partial model of analog electrical library).

Information

The ideal leaking electrical Zener diode is built in bondgraphic technology from a bond graph Z2 element, a 1-junction, and three bonds. A-causal bonds must be used here, because the causality depends on the embedding of the diode in its environment. A leaking diode has been used to ensure that the diode will not lead to a division by zero in either switch position, irrespective of the circuit topology.

Zener diodes are always used as reversed diodes. Thus, the positive and negative pins have been reversed in the model.


Parameters:

 Ron:    Leakage resistance in on state (default value = 1e-5 Ohm)

 Goff:   Leakage conductance in off state (default value = 1e-5 Mho)

 Raval:  Leakage resistance in breakdown state (default value = 1e-5 Ohm)

 v0:     Avalanche breakdown voltage (default = 1 Volt)
