New features and changes introduced in this version are:
The new Thyristor block, located in the Semiconductor Devices library, represents a thyristor modeled using an NPN and a PNP transistor. The collector of each device is connected to the base of the other device so as to give the P-N-P-N junction structure of a thyristor.
The new Multiplier block, located in the Integrated Circuits library, represents an integrated circuit multiplier for physical signals. It allows you to multiply and divide signals without switching to Simulink signals and back.
When using the Diode block, with the Diode model parameter set to Exponential, you now have two additional options under Parameterization:
Use an I-V data point and IS — Specify measured data at a single point on the diode I-V curve in combination with the saturation current.
Use an I-V data point and N — Specify measured data at a single point on the diode I-V curve in combination with the emission coefficient.
See the block reference page for details.
The N-Channel MOSFET and P-Channel MOSFET blocks now have an additional parameter, Channel modulation, L. The default value is 0 1/V. See the respective block reference pages for details.
The following changes have been implemented in the NPN Bipolar Transistor and PNP Bipolar Transistor blocks:
The Junction Capacitance tab has been renamed to Capacitance, and the two existing parameters on it have been renamed:
Base-emitter capacitance to Base-emitter junction capacitance
Base-collector capacitance to Base-collector junction capacitance
Two new parameters have been added to the Capacitance tab:
Total forward transit time, representing the mean time for the minority carriers to cross the base region from the emitter to the collector
Total reverse transit time, representing the mean time for the minority carriers to cross the base region from the collector to the emitter
Default values for ohmic resistances have been changed to RB = 1 Ω, RC = 0.01 Ω, and RE = 1e-4 Ω, to be consistent with the SPICE-compatible library.
