    This document provides instructions for a pre-lab simulation experiment to characterize the I-V relationship of a diode and multiple LEDs. Students are asked to write a NGSPICE netlist to model the circuit, plot the current vs voltage and natural log of current vs voltage over a 0-5V sweep, and submit the netlist, plots and cut-in voltages. The goal is to observe the I-V characteristics of the diodes and use the ln(I) vs V plot to calculate ideality factors.

    Pre-lab Simulation

    Experiment 1

    Diode I-V Characteristics and Bang-gap

    Read the lab handout given and the supporting document first before performing the
    pre-lab simulation exercises.

    The aim of this simulation exercise is to do the following-

    1. Write NGSPICE netlist to implement the diode circuit shown in Figure 1. This
    is used to obtain the I-V characteristics of a diode (or LED).

    2. Plot Id vs Vd for regular diode and each LED by varying the supply from 0-5V
    (using DC sweep). Note down their cut-in voltages.

    3. Plot ln(Id ) vs Vd using the same DC sweep and notice the trend. This plot will
    be used to calculate the ideality factors.

    The model files required for the exercise are uploaded along with this document.

    The I-V characteristics of all 4 LEDs and regular diode must be present in the same
    plot (this will be useful in comparison).
    You are required to submit the NGSPICE netlist, 2 plots and the cut-in voltage values
    for all 5 diodes.
