TUTORIAL 2
1. (a) The reverse-saturation current of each diode in the circuit shown in Figure is IS = 6
× 10−14 A. Determine the input voltage VI required to produce an output voltage of VO
= 0.635 V. (b) Repeat part (a) if the 1 kΩ resistor is changed to R = 500 Ω.

[1. (a) 1.917 V (b) 1.927 V]


2. Consider the circuit shown in Figure . Determine the diode current ID and diode
voltage VD for (a) Vγ = 0.6V and (b) Vγ = 0.7 V

[ID=0 A, VD=0.5V]

3. The cut-in voltage of the diode shown in the circuit in Figure is Vγ = 0.7V. The diode is
to remain biased “on” for a power supply voltage in the range 5 ≤ VPS ≤ 10V. The
minimum diode current is to be ID (min) = 2 mA. The maximum power dissipated in the
diode is to be no more than 10 mW. Determine appropriate values of R1 and R2.

[R1=0.41 kΩ, R2=82.5 Ω]


4. Find I and VO in each circuit shown in Figure if
(i) Vγ = 0.7 V and (ii) Vγ = 0.6 V

5. (a) In the circuit shown in Figure, find the diode voltage VD and the supply voltage V
such that the current is ID = 0.4mA. Assume the diode cut-in voltage is Vγ = 0.7V. (b)
Using the results of part (a), determine the power dissipated in the diode.

[V=2.42 V, P=0.28 mW]

6. (a) Consider a pn junction diode biased at IDQ = 1mA. A sinusoidal voltage is


superimposed on VDQ such that the peak-to-peak sinusoidal current is 0.05IDQ. Find the
value of the applied peak-to-peak sinusoidal voltage. (b) Repeat part (a) if IDQ = 0.1mA.

[(a,b)- 1.30 mV]


7. The diode in the circuit shown in Figure is biased with a constant current source I. A
sinusoidal signal vs is coupled through RS and C. Assume that C is large so that it acts
as a short circuit to the signal. (a) Show that the sinusoidal component of the diode
voltage is given by

(b) If RS = 260 Ω, find vo/vs, for I = 1 mA, I = 0.1 mA, and I = 0.01 mA.

[- 0.0909, - 0.5, -0.909]

8. Consider the circuit shown in Fig. for the case in which R = 10 kΩ. The power supply V+
has a de value of 10 V on which is superimposed a 60-Hz sinusoid of 1-V peak amplitude.
Calculate both the de voltage of the diode and the amplitude of the sine-wave signal
appearing across it. Assume the diode to have a 0.7-V drop at 1-mA current.

[Ans: 0.7 V, 2.68 mV (peak)]


9. The diode in Fig. has a peak inverse voltage of 30 V. What is the minimum voltage VDD
that will ensure safe operation?

[Ans: −30 V]
10. Design the circuit of Fig. so that Vo = 3 V when IL = 0, and Vo changes by 20 mV per 1
mA of load current.
(a) Use the small-signal model of the diode to find the value of R.
(b) Specify the value of Is of each of the diodes.
(c) For this design, use the diode exponential model to determine the actual change in
Vo when a current IL = 1 mA is drawn from the regulator.

[Ans. (a) R = 2.4 kQ; (b) /5 = 4.7 x 10“16 A; (c) -23 mV.]
