The basic diode charge-control model used in SPICE is extended to include reverse recovery. The model is derived from the semiconductor charge transport equations. The diode charge transport equations are simplified using the lumped charged concept of Linvill, and the model is demonstrated on the Saber simulator for simple inductive and resistive load circuits. The two model parameters, diode lifetime and diffusion transit time, can easily be determined from a switching waveform.>
