What is Diode Equation?

An equation describes the exact current through a diode, given the voltage dropped across the junction, the temperature of the junction, and several physical constants. It is commonly known as the diode equation. Because the diode current is proportional to saturation current, it follows that the current is also proportional to the junction area. The saturation current is very small and has a typical value.
