6. We want to make a temperature controller using the diode. Consider your results and suggest which parameter/characteristic of the PN junction diode should be monitored and used for designing the controller. The chosen parameter/characteristic (could be more than one), that is most suitable as the controller input, is expected have most linear (or otherwise reliable) relationship with the temperature.

Marlon Lindsey · Answer 1

The forward biased and reverse biased temperature coefficients of the diode can be used to design a temperature controller.

Explanation:

The forward and reverse biased temperature coefficients vary linearly with temperature. They almost linearly increase as the temperature increases hence, they can be used as the controller input when making the temperature controller using the diode.
