Modelling of an Esaki Tunnel Diode in a Circuit Simulator
A method for circuit-level modelling a physically realistic Esaki tunnel diode model is presented. A paramaterisation technique that transforms the strongly nonlinear characteristic of a tunnel diode into two relatively modest nonlinear characteristics is demonstrated. The introduction of an interme...

| description | A method for circuit-level modelling a physically realistic Esaki tunnel diode model is presented. A paramaterisation technique that transforms the strongly nonlinear characteristic of a tunnel diode into two relatively modest nonlinear characteristics is demonstrated. The introduction of an intermediate state variable results in a physically realistic mathematical model that is not only moderately nonlinear and therefore robust, but also single-valued. |
