Three events occur because of the nature of the applied input signal. They are,
Event (a)
V
f
is the applied forward voltage till the time duration t
1
. The resistance (R) is maintained large enough, such that the
drop across forward biased diode is lesser than that of drop across R. If forward diode resistance is ignored, then the
forward diode current, I
F
is nearly V
F
/R.
Event (b)
The voltage applied is reversed abruptly at t
1
and ' V
R
' is applied to the diode-switch circuit which is simply a
reverse voltage. So the diode must suddenly be turned off. Since, the number of minority carriers consume certain amount
of time to decrease from P
n
- P
no
to O (at the junction), the diode is not switched OFF instantly. This results in the reversal
of current (I) in the circuit.
This reverse current (I
R
) continues to flow till the minority carrier concentration is reduced to zero i.e., till t
2
.
Mathematically, it is expressed as I
R
= V
R
/R.
Event (c)
The diode voltage begins to reverse and the diode
current also starts decreasing from t
2
. The diode gets
completely reverse-biased and attains a complete steady
state at t = t
3
.
The time taken by the diode current to reduce to its
reverse saturation value i.e., from t
2
to t
3
is known as
Transition interval or Transition time.

The circuit is used to eliminate distortion problem in collector waveforms of astable multivibrater. Due to distortion,
an exact square wave is not obtained, instead the vertical rising edges are rounded at the output. This process is known as
rounding. Figure illustrates rounding in collector waveform.

Figure (2): Distortion Elimination
When transistor Q
1
is in OFF state, its collector voltage rises abruptly to V
cc
. Hence the diode, D
1
becomes reverse
biased. Thus C
2
charges through R
3
instead of R
c
. Since the current is not passing through the resistor R
c
, the collector
voltage can be rapidly increased to V
cc
. As a result, the rounding at the collector is completely eliminated. Figure (3)

Figure (2): A Sampling Gate Circuit Used to Cancel the Pedestal
If the control signal is high, then Q
1
is ON and Q
2
is OFF at transmission time t
p
.
As a result, current flows through resistor R
C
and transistor (Q
1
) from V
CC
. Similarly, if the control signal is LOW, then
Q
1
is OFF and Q
2
is ON. So, the current flows through R
C
and Q
2
from supply voltage V
CC
.
In order to make equal transistor currents, the base voltages
1
BB
V
and
2
BB
V
are adjusted along with amplitude of
gate signal. This leads to a constant quiescent level of output voltage in a steady state and hence the pedestal is cancelled.

) = 3 V, peak voltage (V

sinusoidal synchronizing voltage of 2 V peak is applied between bases and the natural
frequency of the sweep is 1 kHz, over what range of sync signal frequency will the sweep
remain in 1:1 synchronism with the sync signal?

For answer refer Unit-VIII, Q7.
(b) What is meant by active pull-up? Draw the circuit of TTL active pull-up NAND gate and

Active Pull-Up
Pulling of output level from LOW level to HIGH level using active components (such as transistor and FETs) is
known as Active Pull-up in digital circuits.
TTL Active Pull-up NAND Gate
Figure illustrates an active pull-up circuit of TTL NAND gate. Transistor Q
4
acts as an active device. It gives
charging current to output capacitor C

.
Hence, the circuit is known as active pull-up circuit and the output is known as active pull-up output.

The output can also be called as Totempole output because the transistors Q
4
and Q
3
form a pair of totem-pole. Q
2
serves as a phase splitter for totem-pole transistors Q
4
and Q
3
. The use of active pull-up in TTL NAND gate is to increase
the speed without any increase in power dissipation. Diode (D) in the circuit is used to maintain Q
4
in cutoff state, when the
gate output is low i.e., logic 0.
When both the inputs A and B are maintained at logic 1 (i.e., High), Q
1
is ON. Hence Q
3
conducts and Q
4
is OFF (since
Q
3
and Q
4
are totempole pair).
Therefore, the output of the gate is O (i.e., LOW) which is given by, V(o) = V
CEsat
= 0.2 V.
If any of the inputs (A or B) are low i.e., at logic O, the transistor Q
4
starts conducting and hence enters into saturation
region. This leads to the changing of capacitance C
o
through Q
4
and D. The current flowing through transistor Q
4
falls
during the charging period of C
o
. When C
o
reaches V(1), HIGH, Q
4
enters into cut off region, the expression for output
voltage, when the gate output is HIGH is given by,
V(1) = V
