A. EPICAP NETWORK PRESENTATION
The equivalent
circuit in Figure 7 shows the voltage capaci-
tance and parasitic
elements
of an EPICAP diode. For design
purposes at all but very high and very low frequencies,
Ls, RJ,
and CC can be neglected.
The simplified
equivalent
circuit of
Figure 8 represents
the diode under these conditions.

B. EPICAP CAPACITANCE VS REVERSE

The most important
design
characteristic
of an EPICAP
diode is the C, versus VR variation
as shown in equations
1 and
2. Since the designer
is primarily
interested
in the slope of CT
versus VR, the CC, CO, o, and Y characteristics
have been en-
compassed
by the simplified
equation

C. EPICAP CAPACITANCE VS FREQUENCY
Variations
in EPICAP effective
capacitance,
as a function
of
operating
frequency,
can be derived
from a simplified
equiv-
alent circuit similar to that of Figure 7, but neglecting
RS and
R,. The admittance
expression
for such a circuit
is given in
equation

of equation
