When more accuracy is desired in modelling the diode's turn-on characteristic, the model can be enhanced by doubling-up the standard PWL-model. This model uses two piecewise-linear diodes in parallel, as a way to model a single diode more accurately. PWL Diode model with 2 branches. The top branch has a lower forward-voltage and a higher ...
For example, inversion-layer mobility modeling, or the modeling of mobility and its dependence on physical parameters, ambient and operating conditions is an important topic both for TCAD (technology computer aided design) physical models and for circuit-level compact models. However, it is not accurately modeled from first principles, and so ...
The Shockley equation doesn't model this, but adding a resistance in series will. The reverse breakdown region (particularly of interest for Zener diodes) is not modeled by the Shockley equation. The Shockley equation doesn't model noise (such as Johnson–Nyquist noise from the internal resistance, or shot noise).
In a diode model two diodes are connected back-to-back to make a PNP or NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) equivalent. This model is theoretical and qualitative.
The first documented computer architecture was in the correspondence between Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace, describing the analytical engine.While building the computer Z1 in 1936, Konrad Zuse described in two patent applications for his future projects that machine instructions could be stored in the same storage used for data, i.e., the stored-program concept.
A von Neumann architecture scheme. The von Neumann architecture—also known as the von Neumann model or Princeton architecture—is a computer architecture based on the First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC, [1] written by John von Neumann in 1945, describing designs discussed with John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering.
The micro-architecture is a step closer to the hardware. It implements the architecture and defines specific mechanisms and structures for achieving that implementation. The result of the micro-architecture phase is a micro-architecture specification which describes the methods used to implement the architecture.
Diode logic (or diode-resistor logic) constructs AND and OR logic gates with diodes and resistors. An active device ( vacuum tubes with control grids in early electronic computers , then transistors in diode–transistor logic ) is additionally required to provide logical inversion (NOT) for functional completeness and amplification for voltage ...
