Tutorial Question 1

1. This document provides 3 tutorial questions about basic electronics concepts involving diodes. 2. The first question asks the user to calculate the diode voltage and current given specifications. 3. The second asks for the temperature at which a diode's current will double given its current at a set temperature and bias voltage. 4. The third involves calculating currents in a circuit with 3 diodes, and determining if one diode may not be conducting based on its reverse bias voltage.

Tutorial Questions

COE/EE 152: Basic Electronics

1. A diode has Is = 10-17A, n= 1.07 and VT = 25mV.


a) What is the diode voltage if the diode current is 70μA.
b) What is the diode current when VD =0V, -0.07V, -5V
2. A diode is biased by a 0.9V dc source and its current is
found to be 100μA at T = 315K. At what temperature will the
diode current double
3. In the circuit shown in Figure 1.
a) find I1, I2,I3 which are the current through R1, R2, and R3
respectively and the current ID1, ID2 and ID3 which are the
currents through the diode. Assume all diodes are modeled
with constant-voltage drop model and are conducting.
Cut-in /Knee voltage is 0.7V
b) Are all the diodes in 3.a) conducting? If not, solve for
the currents in 3.a) again assuming that diode is not
conducting and find the reverse bias voltage across that
diode
