Properties

Conductance

Gets the small-signal conductance.

Declaration
[ParameterName("gd")]
[ParameterInfo("Small-signal conductance")]
public double Conductance { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
double

The small-signal conductance.

Current

Gets the DC or instantaneous current through the device.

Declaration
[ParameterName("i")]
[ParameterName("id")]
[ParameterName("c")]
[ParameterInfo("The complex current through the diode")]
public double Current { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
double

The DC or instantaneous current.
Remarks

If the parallel multiplier is set, then this current is the sum of all currents through all the diodes in parallel.

Power

Gets the DC or instantaneous power dissipation by the device.

Declaration
[ParameterName("p")]
[ParameterName("pd")]
[ParameterInfo("The dissipated power")]
public double Power { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
double

The DC or instantaneous power dissipation.
Remarks

The power does not take into account losses by parasitic series resistors.

Voltage

Gets the DC or instantaneous voltage over the device.

Declaration
[ParameterName("v")]
[ParameterName("vd")]
[ParameterInfo("The voltage across the internal diode")]
public double Voltage { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
double

The DC or instantaneous voltage.
Remarks

If the series multiplier is set, then this voltage is the sum of all voltage drops over all the diodes in series.
