QUESTION #3: Consider the graphical analysis of the diode circuit in Figure T1_3 with VDD = 5 V, R = 1 k , IS = 10-15 A, n = 1, rD = 20 , VD0 = 0.65 V, and VT = 25 mV. Calculate a small number of points on the diode characteristic in the vicinity of where you expect the load line to intersect it. Use graphical method to estimate the diode current and voltage. Analytically, using linearpiecewise model, find the voltage corresponding to your estimate of current. By how much does it differs from the graphical estimated value?.
