Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A PN junction diode has a reverse saturation current of 1 microamp at 25Β°C. Calculate the saturation current at 75Β°C, assuming an exponential increase with temperature with a coefficient of 0.3.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Exponential functions multiply; think of how many times the current increases.

Question 2

If a diode's threshold voltage decreases by 0.2V for every 10Β°C increase, calculate the new threshold voltage at 80Β°C if it started at 0.7V at 20Β°C.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Apply the decrement to the original value based on the temperature change.
