Current Sweep Generators
1.

In the circuit shown in Fig.13p.1, L = 100 mH. It is required that the current in L
increases from 0 to 50 mA in 1 ms. Find V CC for R L = 0 and V CE(sat) = 0. If R d
(damping resistance) is 10 , draw the waveforms of i L and vCE with voltage levels.
If the transistor can withstand a collector to emitter voltage of 60 V, what is the
maximum value of R d that may be used?

Solution:
Assume diode is ideal. Given that the inductor current increases from 0 to its maximum
value of 50 mA in 1 ms, as shown in Fig. 1.1.
