Topic covered: Rectifier Circuits

1. Consider the circuit shown below. Let R = 1 kΩ, Vγ = 0.6 V, and rf = 20Ω. (a) Plot the
voltage transfer characteristics vO versus vI over the range −10 ≤ vI ≤ 10 V. (b) Assume vI
= 10 sinωt (V). (i) Sketch vO versus time for the sinusoidal input. (ii) Find the average value
of vO. (iii) Determine the peak diode current. (iv) What is the PIV of the diode?
