Abstract
A simple charge-controlled switching model describes most fundamental aspects of the step recovery diode. However, it is shown that switching speed and the associated loss are related to the width of the i layer and to the doping level. A switching model appropriate for general computer use is given, and examples of its application are shown in pulse and harmonic generator circuits.
