Description

This component consists of a simple diode parallel with an ohmic resistance (). The current passing through this component is defined as a function of the voltage across the ports, ,

where and are the saturation current and the voltage equivalent of temperature, respectively. If the exponent reaches a certain limit (), the diode characteristic becomes linear to avoid overflow.
