Power Electronics Library: Diode
– The diode is a semiconductor device that is controlled by its own
voltage Vak and current Iak. When a diode is forward biased (Vak > 0),
it starts to conduct with a small forward voltage Vf across it. It turns
off when the current flow into the device becomes 0. When the diode
is reverse biased (Vak < 0), it stays in the off state.
– The Diode block is simulated by a resistor, an inductor, and a DC
voltage source connected in series with a switch. The switch operation
is controlled by the voltage Vak and the current Iak.
