/*! brief Example of using Lambert W function to compute current through a diode connected transistor with preset series resistance.

Exact analytical solution of current flow through diode with series resistance,
Electron Letters, 36(4):291-2 (2000)
DOI: doi.org/10.1049/el:20000301
The current through a diode connected NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT)
type 2N2222 (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2N2222 and
https://www.fairchildsemi.com/datasheets/PN/PN2222.pdf Datasheet)
was measured, for a voltage between 0.3 to 1 volt, see Fig 2 for a log plot,
showing a knee visible at about 0.6 V.
The transistor parameter isat was estimated to be 25 fA and the ideality factor = 1.0.
The intrinsic emitter resistance re was estimated from the rsat = 0 data to be 0.3 ohm.
The solid curves in Figure 2 are calculated using equation 5 with rsat included with re.
