PN Junction DiodePN Junction Diode The basic PN junction diode circuit symbol, and
conventional current direction and voltage polarity.
The graphs shows the ideal I-V characteristics of a PN junction diode.
The diode current is an exponential function of diode voltage in the forward-bias region.
The current is very nearly zero in the reverse-bias region.

PN Junction DiodePN Junction Diode Temperature Effects
Both IS and VT are functions of temperature.
The diode characteristics vary with temperature.
For silicon diodes, the change is approximately 2 mV/oC.
•Forward-biased PN junction characteristics versus temperature. •The required diode voltage, V to produce a given current decreases with an increase in temperature.

Current-voltage Relation
The relation between the diode current and voltage can be written as:
VDQ = dc quiescent voltage
vd = ac component
The -1 term in the equation is neglected.
The equation can be written as:

If vd << VT, the equation can be expanded into linear series as:
The DC diode current Is:

iD = ID [ 1 + vd/VT]
iD = ID + ID vd / VT = ID + id
where id = ID vd / VT
using Ohm’s law:
I = V/R hence, id = vd / rd compare with id = ID vd / VT
which reveals that rd = VT / ID
