Shockley diode equation (``diode law'')

$$I(t) = I_s \cdot \left( e^{\frac{V_d}{nV_T}} - 1 \right)$$

where

$$\begin{eqnarray*} I &=& \mbox{diode current}\\ I_s &=& \mbox{diode reverse leakage current}\\ V_d &=& \mbox{voltage across the diode}\\ n &=& \mbox{ideality factor (1 for ideal, up to 2 or more otherwise)}\\ V_T &=& \mbox{thermal voltage } kT/q\\ k &=& \mbox{Boltzmann constant}\\ q &=& \mbox{electron charge}\\ T &=& \mbox{temperature} \end{eqnarray*}$$
