(2) Determine the applied voltage (transition voltage) that will cause a change in state
for the diode.
For the ideal diode the transition between the states will occur at the point of
v d = 0 V and i d = 0 A.
The level of v i that will cause a
transition in state is
v i = V
(3) Be continually aware of the defined terminals and polarity of v 0
Example: Short-circuit state
The output v0 can be determined by KVL in
clockwise direction
An input greater than V volts the diode is in
the short short-circuit circuit state state.
An input less than V volts the diode is in
the open-circuit state
