Diffusion Current for Non-Linear Charge Carrier Configurations
Diffusion current in a MOSFET device can be calculated using Fick's Law per \$J=-qD\frac{d \rho}{dx}\$. It is often taken that the charge carrier configuration (\$\rho\$) across the MOSFET channel is ...

How can a power converter small signal model predict transient behaviour during a load step which is a large signal disturbance?
I see small signal model being used to predict the Overshoot/Undershoot of output voltage due to a load step.
How do we justify this approach, since the basic assumption of small signal modelling is ...
