Electrical models of electronic devices are used for analysing and calculating electronic circuits. The model of a device depends on a frequency range. A high frequency diode model is shown in Fig. 3.4, where is a total capacitance of the diode - a barrier and diffusion; is integrated resistance of a p-n junction; is defined from the current-voltage characteristic; is distributed resistance of a base.

The spurious capacitance and inductance of holders are shown by dotted lines.
The low frequency diode model consists of and only.
