Problem

The reverse-saturation currents of a Schottky diode and a pn junction diode are IS = 5 × 1...

The reverse-saturation currents of a Schottky diode and a pn junction diode are IS = 5 × 10 8 A and 10 12 A, respectively, (a) The diodes are connected in parallel and the parallel combination is driven by a constant current of 0.5 mA. (i) Determine the current in each diode, (ii) Determine the voltage across each diode, (b) Repeat part (a) for the diodes connected in series, with a voltage of 0.90 V connected across the series combination.
