Abstract
Current versus voltage graphs, also known as I-V curves, are commonly used to characterize semiconductor devices. In diode datasheets, for example, manufacturers can measure these nonlinear devices and present it in graphical form to customers. These graphs also convey the device’s AC resistance, which quantifies the current change through a device for a given change in voltage.
