    This document provides instructions for a lab report on diode I-V characteristics. Students are asked to complete 3 experiments: 1) measure the I-V curve of a 1N4148 diode and determine its resistance, 2) simulate a circuit with a diode and determine the current, and 3) simulate a simple diode circuit and comment on the effect of changing resistances on the output voltage. Tables are included to record results. Students must include the netlist code, output graphs, and answers to questions in their lab report.

    For this report you should solve experiment 1, experiment 2 and experiment 3 parts a) b) c).
    Purpose: Determine several diode parameters, investigate I-V characteristics of diodes and
    Zener diodes when forward or reverse bias is applied, and understand the behavior of simple
    diode circuits.

    Experiment 1: (Diode 1N4148)

    (a) Use DC sweep to simulate the circuit shown and


    plot I versus for VD for -1< VD < 1 with 0.01 step. R =
    1k. (Note: How will you set the x-axis to VD?)
    (b) At what voltage does the current begin to increase
    very quickly?
    (c) Fill in the table below by obtaining values from
    the graph. Comment on the value of diode’s
    resistance RF.

    ID (A) VD(V) RF (Ω) = VD/ID


    30µA

    50uA

    0.1mA(100 µA)
    0.2mA

    0.4mA

    (d) Plot log(ID) versus VD for 0.5V < VD < 0.8V get n and Is from this graph this graph?

    Experiment 2:
    (a) Determine the value of resistance that will give a diode current
    of 10mA assuming a 0.7V battery model for diode.
    (b) Using 1N4148 model, simulate this circuit for this circuit.
    Determine simulation type? What is the current obtained from
    your simulation?
    Experiment 3: Simple Diode Circuits

    (a) Use DC sweep to simulate the circuit shown for 0<Vin<10 with 0.5V for R=100Ω, R=1KΩ
    and R=10kΩ. Comment on the effect of changing the resistance R.

    (b) What is the effect of the diode on Vo?

    (c) Derive an expression for Vo as a function of Vin using the (battery + resistance) model of the
    diode. Get values of battery and resistance from the linear I-V characteristic plot for ID=0.4mA.
