Demonstrates diode I-V characteristics.

Circuit Summary

A diode is swept over voltage to show its nonlinear conduction.

Expected Behavior

  • Current remains low until forward voltage reaches ~0.6–0.7 V, then rises rapidly.

How To Run

  1. Open Simulation-Diode-characteristics.kicad_sch in KiCad.
  2. Click Simulate and run the configured analyses.
  3. Add probes to the key nodes to view the expected behavior.

Notes

  • Temperature changes will shift the curve.
