Abstract
Accurate simulation of power electronic circuits involving power diodes requires mathematically-based power diode models to describe the forward recovery and reverse recovery characteristics realistically. Performance of practical implementations of a proposed model in widely-used versions of SPICE by hard-coding and by using user-defined controlled sources are presented with experimental data. The discussion also includes an implementation in Saber using the analog hardware description language MAST
