Abstract :
A new commercially available diode model is described. This unified model is capable of simulating the widest range of diode technologies of any commercially available. The model´s extensive features and flexibility in the different domains of operation are briefly described, but the emphasis of this paper is on describing the thermal capabilities of the model which are of particular interest in power applications
