A simple analytical expression is presented for the current flow in a diode driven by a voltage source through a series resistance. The proposed solution is based on the Lambert W-function. The new expression leads to an efficient method for extracting series resistance from measured current-voltage data. Experimental results are presented which validate the proposed solution and extraction method.
