Single arm rectifier

Block appearance in REPEAT VISION

 This block is a rectifier arm scheme, which consists of two diodes, see Fig. 1:

Fig. 1 This block is a rectifier arm scheme, which consists of two diodes.

 Diode block implements a diode model, the CVD of which is described by the following exponential function: (1)

(1)\[ \mathrm{i}\mathrm{ }=\mathrm{ }\mathrm{i}_{S}\cdot \mathrm{e}^{\left(\frac{\mathrm{q}\cdot \mathrm{u}}{\mathrm{N}\cdot\mathrm{k}\cdot\mathrm{T}}\right)}; \]

Where:

 \(i\) - diode current, [A];

 \(u\) - diode voltage, [V];

 \(i_S\) - Saturation current, [А];

 \(N\) - emission coefficient;

 \(k\) - Boltzmann constant (1,3806503e–23 [J/K]);

 \(q\) - elementary electric charge (1,602176e–19 [Coulomb]);

 \(T\) - the diodes temperature for which their other parameters are indicated, [K].
