DIODE APPROXIMATIONS
Equivalent circuit – a combination of elements properly chosen to best represent the actual terminal characteristics of the device, system or such in a particular operating region.
To simplify diode networks analysis, three diode approximations are used:
1. Piecewise-linear equivalent circuit
2. Simplified equivalent circuit
3. Ideal equivalent circuit

LOAD-LINE ANALYSISLOAD-LINE ANALYSIS
The load line plots all possible combinations of diode current (ID) and voltage (VD) for a given circuit. The maximum ID equals E/R, and the maximum VD equals E.
The point where the load line and the characteristic curve intersect is the Q-point, which identifies ID and VD for a particular diode in a given circuit.

VD(V)0.8
ANSWER:
(a) Max VD = E = 10V; because the diode is forward biased, there is no voltage drop in the diode.
Max ID = VD/ R = 10 V/ 1 k = 10 mA
(b) VR = IRR = IDQR = (9.25 mA)(1k) = 9.25 V
Or VR = E – VD = 10 – 0.78 V = 9.22 V

EXAMPLE 6:

Determine:
(a) VD
(b) ID
(c) and VR.
Si
0.5 VE
R1.2 k
ID
ANSWER
VD = 0.5 V; although the diode is forward biased, the forward bias voltage is not enough to make the diode conduct, and so the diode acts like an open switch.
VR = E – VD = 0.5 – 0.5 = 0 V
ID = IR = VD/ RD = VR/IR = 0V/ 1.2 k = 0 A

10 – (4.7k)I – 0.7 – (2.2k)I –(-5) = 0
10 – (4.7k)I – 0.7 – (2.2k)I + 5 = 0
I = (10 – 0.7 + 5)/(4.7k + 2.2k)
I = 2.07 mA
