Ideal diode model
The ideal model of a diode is a simple switch. When the diode is forward-biased, it acts like a closed (on) switch (Fig. 5 (a)). When the diode is reverse-biased, it acts like an open (off) switch (Fig. 5 (b)). The barrier potential, the forward dynamic resistance, and the reverse current are all neglected.

When the diode is forward-biased, it is equivalent to a closed switch in series with a small equivalent voltage source equal to the barrier potential (0.7 V) with the positive side toward the anode.
The practical model adds the barrier potential to the ideal switch model.
This equivalent voltage source represents the fixed voltage drop (VF) produced across the forward-biased pn junction of the diode and is not an active source of voltage.

Internal resistance
Dr. N.M. Safri/SEU3003_diode PN
Outline
AC or Dynamic Resistance If a sinusoidal rather than a dc input is applied, the varying input will move the instantaneous operating point up and down a region of the characteristics and thus defines a specific change in current and voltage.
DC or Static Resistance The application of a dc voltage to a circuit containing a semiconductor diode will result in an operating point on the characteristic curve that will not change with time. Resistance of a diode, RD = VD / ID
As the operating point (Q-point) of a diode moves from one region to another, the resistance of the diode will also change due to nonlinear shape of the diode characteristic curve.

If a capacitor is added in parallel with the load resistor of a half-wave rectifier to form a simple filter circuit, we can begin to transform the half-wave sinusoidal output into a dc voltage.

The half-wave rectifier of Fig. 19 is an example of the simplest form of diode clipper – one resistor and a diode. Depending on the orientation of the diode, the positive and negative region of the applied signal is “clipped” off.
There are two general categories of clippers: series and parallel.
Clippers are networks that employ diodes to “clip” away a portion of an input signal without distorting the remaining part of the applied waveform.

4. It is often helpful to draw the output waveform directly below the applied voltage using the same scales for the horizontal axis and the vertical axis.
3. Determine the applied voltage (transition voltage) that will result in a change of state for the diode from the “off” to the “on” state.
First and mort important: 1.Take careful note of where the output voltage is defined. Next: 2. Try to develop an overall sense of the response by simply noting the “pressure” established by each supply and the effect it will have on the conventional current direction through the diode.
There is no general procedure for analyzing networks, but there are some things one can do to give the analysis some direction.

Clamping networks have a capacitor connected directly from input to output with a resistive element in parallel with the output signal. The diode is also in parallel with the output signal but may not have a series dc supply as an added element.
A clamper is a network constructed of a diode, a resistor, and a capacitor that shifts a waveform to a different dc level without changing the appearance of the applied signal.

5. Check that the total swing of the output matches that of the input.
4. Throughout the analysis, maintain a continual awareness of the location and defined polarity for Vo to ensure that the proper levels are obtained.
3. Assume that during the period when the diode is in the “off” state the capacitor holds on to its established voltage level.
First and mort important: 1. .Start the analysis by examining the response of the portion of the input signal that will forward bias the diode. Next: 2. During the period that the diode is in the “on” state, assume that the capacitor will charge up instantaneously to a voltage level determined by the surrounding network.
