Small-signal model for diode
Note: For the top question, I found that Vd0 is approximately 0.667 V and Rd was 0.667 ohms, please check if I arrive at the right answers.
As for the bottom, I am not sure where to start.
The graph below shows the V-I Characteristic for a particular diode. Determine a small signal (piece-wise linear) model for this diode if the bias current varies between 20 and 50mA. Sketch a schematic of this model and indicate values for parameters rd and VDo.

The battery voltage has a nominal value of 12.6v, but can be expected to vary from 11.1 to 14.1 volts (a typical automotive application) 330 Ω 12.6 V D1 VREF V1 Using your small signal (piece-wise) linear model from problem (11) determine the expected variation in the output reference voltage as the battery voltage varies between 11.1 and 14.1V
