A Novel Simulation Method for Analyzing Diode Electrical Characteristics Based on Neural Networks
Based on the equivalent circuit model and physical model, a new method for analyzing diode electrical characteristics based on a neural network model is proposed in this paper. Although the equivalent circuit model is widely used, it cannot effectively reflect the working state of diode circuits under the conditions of large injection and high frequency. The analysis method based on physical models developed in recent years can effectively resolve the above shortcomings, but it faces the problem of a low simulation efficiency. Therefore, the physical model method based on neural network acceleration is used to improve the traditional, equivalent circuit model. The results obtained from the equivalent circuit model and the physical model are analyzed using the finite-difference time-domain method. The diode model based on a neural network is fitted with training data obtained from the results of the physical model, then it is summarized into a voltage–current equation and used to improve the traditional, equivalent circuit method. In this way, the improved equivalent circuit method can be used to analyze the working state of a diode circuit under large injection and high frequency conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed model is verified by some examples.
