Modeling Diode Characteristics• Exponential model nonlinearity makes circuit analysis
difficult.• Two common approaches are graphical analysis and iterative
analysis• For simple battery, resistor, diode circuit (see below) graphical
analysis can be performed by simply plotting relationship of diode and resistor equations on i-v plane
• The plot of the straight line resistor equation is commonly referred to as the load line
• Intersection of diode equation and load line represents the operating point of the circuit
• Graphical analysis is good for only simple circuits

Iterative Analysis
• Iterative analysis can be performed using a simple procedure
• For example consider VDD=5V and R = 1Kohm. Assume diode current of 1mA at a voltage of 0.7V and assume voltage drop changes 0.1V for every decade drop in current (Ans. VD = 0.762V)
• Gives precise answer but can be time consuming especially if done by hand calculations (note: we can use a circuit simulator like SPICE to help out)

Piecewise Linear Model
• Analysis can be greatly simplified if we can find a linear approximation of diode equation
• We can approximate the diode forward characteristics with two straight lines (see below)
• The piecewise linear model can be represented by an equivalent circuit that includes a battery and a resistance

Constant Voltage Drop Model
• Even simpler model uses a vertical straight line to approximate fast rising part of exponential curve (i.e. forward biased diode exhibits constant voltage drop typically assumed to be 0.7V) (see below)
• Because of its simplicity, this model is commonly used in initial stages of analysis and design
• For previous circuit VD = 0.7V and ID = 4.3mA

Small Signal Model
• In many circuit applications a diode is biased at an operating point with some small ac signal superimposed on the dc bias
• For this situation a good solution is to find dc bias using one of previous methods and then model small signal variations by resistance equal to 1/slope of diode curve at the operating point
