This document summarizes the modeling of a Vishay UF5404 general purpose rectifier diode. It includes the diode components and manufacturer. Simulation results show forward voltage, junction capacitance, and reverse recovery characteristics match measured data closely with less than 2% error. Key recovery times trj, trb, and trr are reported to evaluate the diode switching performance.
