Read the diode class notes.


For the circuit shown,

  • R = 1.5 kΩ
  • VS = 4 V

Using the exact diode equation, find the value of satruation-current paramenter, IS, required so that the diode current will be iD = 2.1867 mA. (Do not use the on-off model for the diode.).

Assume room temperature operation. (kT/q = 0.0258 V).
