1. In each of the ideal-diode circuits shown in Fig. 1. 𝑣 is a 1-kHz, 5 V peak sine wave.

Sketch the
waveform resulting at 𝑣 . What are its positive and negative peak values?

Fig. 1.
2. In the circuit shown in Fig. 2, Diodes D1 through D4 are identical, and each exhibits a voltage drop of
0.7 V at 1-mA current.
(a) For small input signals (e.g., 10-mV peak), find the small signal equivalent circuit and use it to
determine values of the small-signal transmission 𝑣 /𝑣 for various values of I: 0 μA, 1 μA, 10
μA, 100 μA, 1 mA, and 10 mA.
(b) For a forward-conducting diode, what is the largest signal-voltage magnitude that it can support
while the corresponding signal current is limited to 10% of the dc bias current? Now, for the circuit
in Fig. 2, for 10-mV peak input, what is the smallest value of I for which the diode currents remain
within ±10% of their dc values?
(c) For I =1 mA, what is the largest possible output signal for which the diode currents deviate at
most 10% of their dc values? What is the corresponding peak input? What is the total current in
each diode?
