- A diode obeys the Shockley diode equation and for this circuit we have:
- 
- The current through the diode must not pass a limit so for LTL-307EE we go to the datasheet to find the maximum current before the diode is destroyed:
- For the LTL-307EE at 20C we have 10^4 A Isat and Vth=0.026V
- 
(120mA).- Now in order to find the resistance we find the resistance of the resistor if max current was flowing through the diode
- 
- If we solve this equation we get:
So in order for LTL-307EE to not be damaged the resistance of R1 > 73.46Ω- Hope this helps

- (30mA).
- Now in order to find the resistance we find the resistance of the resistor if max current was flowing through the diode
- 
- If we solve this equation we get:
- 
- So in order for LTL-307EE to not be damaged the resistance of R1 > 295.05Ω
