Hi,

your unrealistic assumption
| To simplify, we may assume that diode is a pure conducting device in
| forward direction and pure blocking device in the reverse direction.

will hinder NDSolve[] to work properly because the error term will infinte
large when the current change the sign.

A Laplace Transform may help you but that's not 
NDSolve[]

Regards
 Jens
