Diode model - part I

Where do I begin? Massive number of changes. So first, the diode class (clink on "View Raw" below the code box to see the code in a new window):


Similar to many of the others. In the parameter specification, the user needs to enter the voltage level of the diode and the polarity in terms of where the cathode is.

The diode resistance changes with the status whether "ON" or "OFF". The diode is ON when it is forward biased beyond a certain threshold voltage. It turns "OFF" when current becomes negative. The ON resistance, forward bias threshold voltage and the ON drop voltage can be made user defined parameters.
