1. ZENER DIODE CHARACTERISTICS AND ZENER AS VOLTAGE
REGULATOR
Brief account of zener diode: Diodes designed with adequate power dissipation capabilities to
operate in the breakdown region are known as zener diodes. Zener diode is heavily doped than
the ordinary diode. The operation of zener diode is same as that of ordinary PN diode under
forward biased condition. The minimum voltage at which the device would conduct in the
forward bias mode is known as ‘cut in voltage’, where as in a reverse biased condition
breakdown of the junction occurs.
When P&N regions are heavily doped, direct rupture of covalent bonds takes place
because of the strong electric field and electron hole pairs so created increases the reverse
current in a reverse biased diode. The increase in current takes place at a constant value of
voltage called breakdown voltage. This depends upon the amount of doping. Zener diode
can be used as voltage regulator under reverse biased condition.

(b) ZENER DIODE AS VOLTAGE REGULATOR
Brief account of voltage regulator:
Line regulation is the capability to maintain a constant output voltage level and the output
channel of the power supply dissipate changes to the input voltage level. To obtain this zener
diode is connected in parallel to the load and operated in reverse biased condition. This is
because in the breakdown region, large changes in diode current produce only small changes
in diode voltage.
Load regulation is the capability to maintain a constant voltage level on the output channel
of a power supply dissipate changes if the supplies load (such as change in resistance) value
connected across the supply voltage.

3. CHARACTERISTICS OF COMMON EMITTER BJT AND
MEASUREMENT OF h-PARAMETERS
Brief account of common emitter (CE) configuration: A transistor is a three terminal device.
A transistor consists of a layer of n-type material sandwiched between two layers of n-type
material. The three portions of a transistor are emitter, base and collector. The arrow on the
emitter lead specifies the direction of current flow.
In this configuration emitter is common to both input (base) and output(collector) is known as
‘common emitter configuration’. Emitter base junction is forward biased and base collector
junction is reverse biased. The input characteristics are essentially that of forward
characteristics of PN diode. In general increase in VCE, with constant VBE causes a decrease
in base current. The plot of IC against VCE gives the information about output characteristics
of BJT. For a constant IB, the current increase as the voltage increase till it reaches saturation.
The characteristics made up of three regions: cutoff, active and saturation regions. At saturation
the VCE is almost zero & very high current flows. At cutoff the output current will be zero &
at the active region IC increases linearly with VCE .

5.CMOS Invertor Transfer Characteristics
As many as three individual inverters can be built from one CD4007 package. The simplest first
one to configure as shown below is by connecting pins 8 and 13 together as the inverter output.
Pin 6 will be the input. Be sure to connect pin 14 VDD to power and pin 7 VSS to ground.
The second Inverter is made by connecting pin 2 to VDD, pin 4 to VSS, pins 1 and 5 are
connected together as the output and with pin 3 as the input. The third inverter is made by
connecting pin 11 to VDD, pin 9 to VSS, pin 12 is the output and pin 10 is the input.
24
Characterizing The CMOS Inverter
There are a number of both static (DC) and dynamic (AC) performance characteristics of the
CMOS inverter that are often specified and should be measured. In this section we will measure
a number of them for the inverter but these same measurements can be made on other the types
gates we will see in later sections of this activity. We will start with the static characteristics,
threshold voltage, transition region width, output source and sink current.
Threshold voltage :
Generally the CMOS fabrication process is designed such that the threshold voltage, VTH, of the
NMOS and PMOS devices are roughly equal i.e. complementary. The designer of the inverter
then adjusts the width to length ratio, W/L, of the NMOS and PMOS devices such that their
respective transconductance is also equal.
Directions:
On your solder-less breadboard build the first inverter shown in figure 2 to test the input to
output switching characteristics of the CMOS inverter. The green boxes in figure 3 indicate the
required connections to the connector on ADALM2000. Connect Vp (+5V) power to VDD (pin
14) through a 100Ω resistor to measure the supply current and ground to VSS (pin 7). Connect
the output of the waveform generator to the inverter input (pin 6) along with scope input 1+ and
connect the inverter output (pins 8,13) to scope input 2+. It is also generally good to ground the
unused negative scope inputs (1- , 2-).
Hardware Setup :
Configure the waveform generator for a 100 Hz triangle wave with 5V amplitude peak-to-peak
and 2.5V offset. Both scope channels should be set to 1V/Div. Configure the scope in XY mode
25
with channel 1 on the horizontal axis and channel 2 on the vertical axis.
Figure 4 Breadboard connections Setup to measure input threshold and transition region
Procedure :
First using scope channel 2 to measure the inverter output voltage vs. the input as the input is
swept from 0 to 5V obtain a plot like the top curve in figure 5. Export the data to a .csv file and
extract the width of the transition region and the threshold voltage at the input at the point
where the output voltage is exactly 1/2 VDD.
Next move the channel 2 scope inputs 2+ and 2- to measure the voltage across the 100Ω
resistor, R1, in figure 3. You may need to adjust the vertical scale of channel 2 for an optimal
view of the current waveform. Now obtain a plot of I D vs. the input as the input is swept from 0
to 5V. This should give you a plot much like the bottom curve in figure 5. Export the data to a
.csv file and extract the peak current ( measured voltage divided by the 100Ω resistor value) and
the input and output voltages where the peak occurred.
26
Figure 5 Inverter output voltage and supply current curves vs. input voltage
Figure 6 Scopy screenshots: Inverter output voltage and supply current curves vs. input voltage
The input to output transfer characteristic plots the output voltage VOUT versus the input
voltage VIN. Notice that when the input voltage increase from 0V to 5V the output voltage
decreases from 5V to 0V. The supply current characteristic plots the current flowing through
the transistors between VDD and ground also versus the input voltage VIN. The fact that there are
two parts of the characteristic curves when the input voltage is near ground and VDD, no current
flows between VDD and ground, is very attractive because there is no power dissipation at this
27
stages. This very fact is the reason that today nearly all digital circuitry is now build using
CMOS technology.
The width of the transition region as a fraction of the power supply leads to a performance
measure that is often referred to as the noise margin, the part of the input range where the
output remains at a constant high or low level. Given that there is likely to be noise
superimposed on the input signal it is desirable to have the output not respond to small changes
in the input. A narrow transition region also potentially reduces the amount of time the output
spends transitioning between states and thus the so called “shoot through” current when both
the NMOS and PMOS transistors are partially turned on.
Dynamic performance
In this section we will investigate the dynamic properties of the CMOS inverter, that is, its
behavior during the time when switching the input signal from low-to-high or high-to-low
voltages and the associated power dissipation.
We now consider a CMOS inverter driven by a voltage pulse. Typical input/output waveforms
are shown in figure 5. Delay characterization of the dynamic behavior of an inverter is given by
two propagation delay times, THL and TLH as illustrated in figure 7. Note that these propagation
times are specified with respect to the mid supply voltage VDD/2.
28
Figure 8 CMOS Inverter rise / fall time
Hardware Setup :
Now configure the waveform generator for a 500 KHz square wave with 5V amplitude peak-to-
peak and 2.5V offset. Be sure to reconnect scope channel 2 to measure the output voltage
waveform. Both scope channels should be set to 1V/Div. Adjust the horizontal scale so that you
can view both the rising and falling edges of the input and output waveforms similar to what is
shown in figures 7 and 8.
29
Figure 10 Scopy screenshot: CMOS Inverter propagation delay
Measurements:
Propagation delay, THL and TLH = time between input transition (when VIN = VDD/2) and output
transition (when VOUT = VDD/2). Rise time, TR = time for a waveform to rise from 10% to 90%
of its steady state value. Fall time, TF = time for a waveform to fall from 90% to 10% of its
steady state value.

6. DESIGN OF HALF-WAVE AND FULL WAVE RECTIFIERS WITH
AND WITHOUT FILTERS
Brief account of half wave rectifiers:
In Half Wave Rectification, When AC supply is applied at the input, only Positive Half Cycle
appears across the load whereas, the negative Half Cycle is suppressed. This can be explained
is as follows:
During positive half-cycle of the input voltage, the diode D1 is in forward bias and conducts
through the load resistor RL. Hence the current produces an output voltage across the load
resistor RL, which has the same shape as the +ve half cycle of the input voltage.
During the negative half-cycle of the input voltage, the diode is reverse biased and there is no
current through the circuit. i.e., the voltage across R L is zero. The net result is that only the
+ve half cycle of the input voltage appears across the load. The average value of the half
wave rectified o/p voltage is the value measured on dc voltmeter.
For practical circuits, transformer coupling is usually provided for two reasons.
2. The ac source is electrically isolated from the rectifier. Thus preventing shock hazards in
the secondary circuit.
To remove the AC components or filter them out in a rectifier circuit, a filter circuit is used.
A filter circuit is a device to remove the AC components of the rectified output, but allows
the DC components to reach the load. A filter circuit is in general a combination of inductor (L)
and Capacitor (C) called LC filter circuit. A capacitor allows A.C only and inductor allows
D.C only to pass. So a suitable L and C network can effectively filter out the A.C component
from rectified wave.
A filter circuit consists of passive circuit elements i.e, inductors, capacitors, resistors and
their combination. The filter action depends upon the electrical properties of passive circuit
elements. For example, an inductor allows the D.C to pass through it. But it blocks A.C. On
the other hand, a capacitor allows the A.C to pass through it. But it blocks the D.C. Some of
the important filters are given below

PRECAUTIONS:
1. The primary and secondary side of the transformer should be carefully identified
2. The polarities of all the diodes should be carefully identified.
RESULT:
Brief account of full-wave rectifiers: The AC input is applied through the transformer, the
anode of the two diodes D1 & D2 (having similar characteristics) are connected to the opposite
ends of the centre tapped secondary winding and two cathodes are connected to each other and
are connected also through the load resistance RL and back to the centre of the transformer.
When the top of the transformer secondary winding is positive(+ve),say during the first half-
cycle of the supply, the anode of diode D1 is positive(+ve) w.r.t cathode, and and anode of
diode D2 is negative(-ve)w.r.t cathode. Thus only diode D1 conducts ,being forward biased and
current flows from cathode to anode of diode D1,through load resistance RL and top half the
transformer secondary making cathode end of load resistance RL positive. During the second
half-cycleof the input voltage the polarity is reversed, making the bottom thus diode D2 is
forward biased and and D1 is reverse biased. Consequently during this half-cycle of the
Input only the diode D2 conducts and current flows through the load resistance RL and
bottom of the transformer secondary making the cathode end of the load resistance RL positive.
Thus the direction of flow of current through the load resistance RL remains the same
during both halves of the input supply voltage.
To remove the AC components or filter them out in a rectifier circuit, a filter circuit is used.
A filter circuit is a device to remove the A.C components of the rectified output, but allows
the D.C components to reach the load. A filter circuit is in general a combination of inductor

9. Plotting MOSFET I V Characteristics
Aim: To simulate the I V characteristics of NMOS, PMOS transistors and observing the
effect of various parameters on their characteristics
NMOS/PMOS devices are formed in a p/n-type substrate of moderate doping level. Source and
drain are isolated from one another by two diodes. For, enhancement mode device, a minimum
voltage level of threshold voltage Vth must be established between gate and source to obtain a
channel inversion. Now the current flows in the channel by applying a voltage Vds between
drain and source. There must, of course, be a corresponding IR drop = Vds along the channel.
This results in the voltage between gate and channel varying with distance along the channel
with the voltage being a maximum of Vgs at the source end. For all voltages Vds < Vgs - Vth, the
device is in the non-saturated region of operation and in other case saturation region.

10. DC & Transient analysis of CMOS Inverter.
Aim: To Design and simulate the Symmetrical CMOS inverter and performing DC and
Transient analysis on it.
Theory:
The CMOS inverter consists of a combination of an pMOS transistor at the top and a nMOS
transistor at the bottom. CMOS is also sometimes referred to as complementary-symmetry
metal–oxide–semiconductor. The words "complementary-symmetry" refer to the fact that the
typical digital design style with CMOS uses complementary and symmetrical pairs of p-type
and n-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) for logic functions.
Two important characteristics of CMOS devices are high noise immunity and low static power
consumption. Significant power is only drawn while the transistors in the CMOS device are
switching between ON and OFF states. Consequently, CMOS devices do not produce as much
waste heat as other forms of logic, for example transistor-transistor logic (TTL) or NMOS logic,
which uses all n-channel devices without p-channel devices.

Theory:
A FinFET is classified as a type of multi-gate Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect
Transistor (MOSFET. A multi-gate transistor incorporates more than one gate in to one single
device. In FinFET, a thin silicon film wrapped over the conducting channel forms the body.
The name has been derived from the fact that the structure, when viewed, looks like a set of
fins. The thickness of the device determines the channel length of the device.
