The model is based on the paper "A Simple Diode Model with Reverse Recovery" by Peter Lauritzen and Cliff Ma. (See references). The model's governing equations are quite simple and are as follows:
\[ i_d = \frac{q_e - q_m}{TT} \]
\[ \frac{dq_m}{dt} + \frac{q_m}{TAU} - \frac{q_e - q_m}{TT} = 0 \]
\[ q_e = IS \cdot TAU \cdot \left(\exp\left(\frac{v_d}{N\cdot V_t}\right)-1\right) \]
In addition the model uses the standard SPICE equations for junction capacitance and temperature dependence of IS.
