This document summarizes the modeling of a general purpose rectifier diode. It includes 3 key sections: 1) descriptions of the PSpice model parameters, 2) comparisons of simulated and measured forward current and capacitance characteristics showing good agreement, and 3) comparisons of simulated and measured reverse recovery times also showing close matches.
