modelZDiode
Extends from Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Interfaces.OnePort (Component with two electrical pins p and n and current i from p to n), Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Interfaces.ConditionalHeatPort (Partial model to include a conditional HeatPort in order to describe the power loss via a thermal network).
Information
The simple Zener diode is a one port. It consists of the diode itself and an parallel ohmic resistance R. The diode formula is:
v/Vt -(v+Bv)/(Nbv*Vt)
i = Ids ( e - 1) - Ibv ( e ).
If the exponent in one of the two branches reaches the limit Maxexp, the diode characteristic is linearly continued to avoid overflow.
The Zener diode model permits (in contrast to the simple diode model) current in reverse direction if the breakdown voltage Bv (also known Zener knee voltage) is exceeded.
The thermal power is calculated by i*v.
Please note: In case of useHeatPort=true the temperature dependence of the electrical behavior is not modelled yet. The parameters are not temperature dependent.
