The TVS macro-model is based on the zener diode model provided in references 3 and 4. References 1 and 2 provide additional information on modeling TVS devices.

"ESD protection and core circuit co-design are increasingly important in advanced ICs, ... The Advanced SPICE Model for ESD Diodes captures diode behavior under ESD event conditions." ...

For each diode, the analysis is then linked to the corresponding SPICE model. Finally, the power diode losses - both on-state losses and switching losses - are examined in a converter circuit, ...

R 1 ‘s voltage drop limits the zener diode’s voltage value that the circuit measures. If R 1 ‘s value is 1Ω, then the voltage drop across it is insignificant and, in millivolts, is equal to the zener ...
