Question # 1 (CLO – 1, Points: 10, 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2)
Assuming the input is expressed as Vin = V0 cos ωt, plot the output of each circuit in the figures
shown below. Use an ideal diode model.

Question # 2 (CLO – 1, Points: 10, 5 +5)
Plot the input/output characteristics for the circuits shown below. Also, plot the currents flowing
through R1 and D1 as a function of Vin for the circuits. Assume a constant-voltage diode model.

Question # 3 (CLO – 2, Points: 10, 5 +5)
(a) The diodes carry a current of 5 mA and the load, a current of 20 mA. If the load current
increases to 21 mA, what is the change in the total voltage across the three diodes? Assume
R1 is much greater than 3rd.
(b) Assuming R1 carries a relatively constant current and VD, ON = 0.8V. Estimate the ripple
seen across the C1. Also, using the small-signal model of the diodes, determine the ripple
amplitude across the diode. Let fin = 60 Hz, C1 = 100 µF, R1 = 1 kΩ, and peak voltage
available at the secondary of the transformer is VP = 5V.

Question # 4 (CLO – 3, Points: 20)
You are required to design a full-bridge rectifier-based dc-power supply that provides an average
dc output voltage of 15 V. The rectifier feeds a load of 150 Ω. The rectifier is fed from the line
voltage of 240V rms, 50 Hz through the primary of a transformer. The allowed maximum ripple
is ± 1 % and the available diodes allow 0.7 V drop when operating.
Draw the complete circuit diagram with input and output waveforms. Also, specify the rms
voltage that appear across the secondary of the transformer, turn ratio of the transformer, value
of the filter capacitor, maximum peak inverse voltage appearing across the diodes and the rating
of the diodes, peak diode current, and average current through the diodes during conduction.
