THEORY:

The semi conductor diode / PN junction diode is created by simply joining an n-type and a p-type
material together nothing more just the joining of one material with a majority carrier of
electrons to one with a majority carrier of holes.
The P-N junction supports uni-directional current flow. If +ve terminal of the input supply is
connected to anode (P-side) and–ve terminal of the input supply is connected to cathode (N-side),
then diode is said to be forward biased.

MODEL GRAPH
In this condition the height of the potential barrier at the junction is lowered by an amount equal
to given forward biasing voltage. Both the holes from p-side and electrons from n-side cross the
junction simultaneously and constitute a forward current (injected minority current – due to holes
crossing the junction and entering N-side of the diode, due to electrons crossing the junction and
entering P-side of the diode). Assuming current flowing through the diode to be very large, the diode
can be approximated as short-circuited switch.

If –ve terminal of the input supply is connected to anode (p-side) and +ve terminal of the
input supply is connected to cathode (n-side) then the diode is said to be reverse biased.

In this condition an amount equal to reverse biasing voltage increases the height of the
potential barrier at the junction. Both the holes on p-side and electrons on n-side tend to move away
from the junction thereby increasing the depleted region. However the process cannot continue
indefinitely, thus a small current called reverse saturation current continues to flow in the diode. This
small current is due to thermally generated carriers. Assuming current flowing through the diode to
be negligible, the diode can be approximated as an open circuited switch.

The volt-ampere characteristics of a diode explained by following equation:

𝐼=𝐼0(𝑒ƞ𝑉𝑇−1)
I – Current flowing in the diode

I0–Reversesaturationcurrent

V–Voltage applied to the diode

V–Volt equivalent of temperature


It is observed that Ge diode has smaller cut-in-voltage when compares to Si diode.
CALCULATIONS FROM THE GRAPH
1. Static Resistance: To find the forward static resistance locate a point on characteristic
curve obtained from the forward bias characteristics which is called operating point Q
and draw a line onto the X-axis and Y-axis to obtain VF and IF Calculate static forward
resistance using the formulae

𝑉
Static forward resistance𝑅𝑆 = 𝐹Ω at Q point
𝐼𝐹

2. Dynamic Resistance: The dc resistance of a diode is independent of the shape of the


characteristic in the region surrounding the point of interest. If a sinusoidal input is
applied rather than a dc input ,the varying input will move the instantaneous operating
point up and down a region of the characteristics and thus defines a specific change in
current and voltage. To find the ac or dynamic resistance draw a straight line drawn
tangent to the curve through the Q-point as shown in the figure will define a particular
change in voltage and current that can be used to determine the ac or dynamic resistance
for this region of the diode characteristics.

THEORY:

Zener diodes have many of the same basic properties of ordinary semiconductor diodes.
When forward biased, they conduct in the forward direction and have the same turn on voltage as
ordinary diodes. For silicon this is about 0.6 volts.

In the reverse direction, the operation of a Zener diode is quite different to an ordinary diode.
For low voltages the diodes do not conduct as would be expected. However, once a certain
voltage is reached the diode "breaks down" and current flows. Looking at the curves for a Zener
diode, it can be seen that the voltage is almost constant regardless of the current carried. This
means that a Zener diode provides a stable and known reference voltage.

THEORY
FULL WAVE RECTIFIER
Full wave rectifier utilizes both the cycle of input AC voltage. Two or four diodes are
used in full wave rectifier. If full wave rectifier is designed using four diodes it is known as
full wave bridge rectifier. Full wave rectifier using two diodes without capacitor is shown in
the figure. Center tapped transformer is used in this full wave rectifier. During the positive
cycle diode D1 conducts and it is available at the output. During negative cycle diode D1
remains OFF but diode D2 is in forward bias hence it conducts and negative cycle is available
as a positive cycle at the output. Note that direction of current in the load resistance is same
during both the cycles hence output is only positive cycles.

Advantages of full wave rectifier over half wave rectifier:

 The rectification efficiency is double than half wave rectifier


 Ripple factor is less and ripple frequency is double hence easy to filter out.
 DC output voltage and current is higher hence output power is higher.
 Better transformer utilization factor
 There is no DC saturation of core in transformer because the DC currents in two
halves of secondary flow in opposite directions.

7. Connecting wires

THEORY:

A Zener diodeis heavily doped p-n junction diode, specially made to operate in the break
down region. A p-n junction diode normally does not conduct when reverse biased. But if the
reverse bias is increased, at a particular voltage it starts conducting heavily. This voltage is
called Break down Voltage. High current through the diode can permanently damage the
device.

To avoid high current, we connect a resistor in series with zener diode. Once the diode starts
conducting it maintains almost constant voltage across the terminals whatever may be the
current through it, i.e., it has very low dynamic resistance. It is used in voltage regulators.

PROCEDURE:

Load Regulation and Line regulation characteristics:


1. Connect the Circuit as per the Circuit Diagram on the breadboard.
2. By changing the load Resistance, kept constant I/P Voltage at 5V, 10V, 15V as per table
given below. Take the readings of O/P Voltmeter(Vo=Vz).
3. Now by changing the I/P Voltage, kept constant load Resistance at 1K, 2K, 3K as per table
given below. Take the readings of O/P Voltmeter(Vo=Vz).

PRECAUTIONS:
1. The terminals of the Zener diode should be properly identified
2. While determined the load regulation, load should not be immediately shorted.
3. Should be ensured that the applied voltages & currents do not exceed the ratings of the diode.

RESULT:

Thus the voltage regulation of a given Zener diode was found.

THEORY:

A Bipolar Junction Transistor or BJT is a three terminal device having two PN-
junctions connected together in series. Each terminal is given a name to identify it and these
are known as the Emitter (E), Base (B)and Collector (C).

There are two basic types of bipolar transistor construction, NPN and PNP, which basically
describes the physical arrangement of the P-type and N-type semiconductor materials from
which they are made.

Bipolar Transistors are "CURRENT" Amplifying or current regulating devices that control
the amount of current flowing through them in proportion to the amount of biasing current
applied to their base terminal.

The principle of operation of the two transistors types NPN and PNP, is exactly the same the
only difference being in the biasing (base current) and the polarity of the power supply for
each type.

In CE configuration, Emitter is common to both the input and output as shown in figure. The
direction of the arrow in the symbol shows current flow between the base and emitter
terminal, pointing from the positive P-type region to the negative N-type region, exactly the
same as for the standard diode symbol. For normal operation, the emitter-base junction is
forward-biased and the collector-base junction is reverse-biased.

DESCRIPTION:

Input Characteristics: The variation of the base current IB with the base-emitter voltage VBE
keeping the collector-emitter voltage VCE fixed, gives the input characteristic in CE mode.

Input Dynamic Resistance (ri): This is defined as the ratio of change in base emitter voltage
(ΔVBE) to the resulting change in base current (ΔIB) at constant collector-emitter voltage
(VCE). This is dynamic and it can be seen from the input characteristic, its value varies with
the operating current in the transistor:

𝛥𝑉𝐵𝐸
𝑟𝑖 = |
𝛥𝐼𝐵 𝑉𝐶𝐸

The value of ri can be any thing from a few hundreds to a few thousand ohms.

Output Characteristics: The variation of the collector current I C with the collector-emitter
voltage VCE is called the output characteristic. The plot of I C versus VCE for different fixed
values of IB gives one output characteristic. Since the collector current changes with the base
current, there will be different output characteristics or responding to different values of IB.

Output Dynamic Resistance(ro):This is defined as the ratio of change in collector-emitter


Voltage (ΔVCE) to the change in collector current (ΔIC) at a constant base current IB.

𝛥𝑉𝐶𝐸
𝑟𝑜 = | 𝐼𝐵
𝛥𝐼𝐶
The High magnitude of the output resistance (of order of 100kW) is due to the reverse biased
state of this diode.
Current amplification factor (β)
This is defined as the ratio of the change in collector current to the change in base current at a
constant collector-emitter voltage (VCE) when the transistor is in active state.

𝛥𝐼𝐶
𝛽𝑎𝑐 = |
𝛥𝐼𝐵𝑉𝐶𝐸
This is also known as small signal current gain and its value us very large. The ratio of IC and
IB we get what is called dc of the transistor. Hence,
𝐼𝐶
𝛽𝑑𝑐= |
𝐼𝐵𝑉𝐶𝐸
Since IC increases with IB almost linearly, the values of both dc and ac are nearly equal.

PROCEDURE
To find the input Characteristics
1. Connect the circuit as in the circuit diagram.
2. Keep VBB and VCC in zero volts before giving the supply.
3. Set VCE= 1Volt by varying VCC and vary the VBB smoothly with fine control such
that base current IB varies in steps of 5µA from zero up to 100µA, and note down the
corresponding voltage VBE for each step in the tabular form.
4. Repeat the experiment forVCE1 volt and 2volts.
5. Draw a graph between VBE vs .IB against VCE=Constant
To find the output characteristics
1. Start VEE and VCC from zero volts.
2. Set the IB=20µA by using VBB such that, VCE changes in steps of 0.2volts from zero
up to 10 volts, note down the corresponding collector current I C for each step in the
tabular form.
3. Repeat the experiment for IE=20µA and IE=40µA, tabulate the readings
4. Draw a graph between VCE vs IC against IB=Constant.

RESULT:

Thus the input and output Characteristic of BJT in Common Emitter Configuration were
plotted and the dynamic resistance and amplification factor were obtained.

THEORY:
A field-effect transistor (FET) is a type of transistor commonly used for weak-signal
amplification (for example, for amplifying wireless (signals). The device can amplify analog or
digital signals. It can also switch DC or function as an oscillator. In the FET, current flows along
a semiconductor path called the channel. At one end of the channel, there is an electrode called
the source. At the other end of the channel, there is an electrode called the drain. The physical
diameter of the channel is fixed, but its effective electrical diameter can be varied by the
application of a voltage to a control electrode called the gate. Field-effect transistors exist in two
major classifications. These are known as the junction FET(JFET)and the metal-oxide-
semiconductor FET(MOSFET). The junction FET has a channel consisting of N-type
semiconductor (N-channel) or P-type semiconductor (P-channel) material; the gate is made of the
opposite semiconductor type. In P-type material, electric charges are carried mainly in the form
of electron deficiencies called holes. In N-type material, the charge carriers are primarily
electrons. In a JFET, the junction is the boundary between the channel and the gate. Normally,
this P-N junction is reverse-biased (a DC voltage is applied to it) so that no current flows
between the channel and the gate. However, under some conditions there is a small current
through the junction during part of the input signal cycle. The FET has some advantages and
some disadvantages relative to the bipolar transistor.

Field-effect transistors are preferred for weak-signal work, for example in wireless,
communication and broadcast receivers. They are also preferred in circuits and systems requiring
high impedance. The FET is not, in general, used for high-power amplification, such as is
required in large wireless communications and broadcast transmitters.
Field-effect transistors are fabricated onto silicon integrated circuit (IC) chips. A single IC can
contain many thousands of FETs, along with other components such as resistors, capacitors, and
diodes. A common source amplifier FET amplifier has high input impedance and a moderate
voltage gain. Also, the input and output voltages are 180 degrees out of Phase.

THEORY
An amplifier is used to increase the signal level; the amplifier is use to get a larger signal output
from a small signal input The transistor can be used as a amplifier, if it is biased to operate in the
active region, i.e. base-emitter junction is to be forward biased, while the base –collector junction
to be reverse biased. Common-Base amplifier is constructed using self-bias circuit. The resistors
R1, R2 and RE are biasing resistors. Acts as a potential divider. Due to the change in the
temperature or β, the base current increases so this makes to increase the collector current IC,
therefore a Reverse Leakage Current ICO increases hence this affects the stability of transistor. By
providing an emitter resistor RE, it creates a voltage drop across RE therefore the increased emitter
current due to IC starts to flow through RE to ground and this makes in the reduction of Base
Emitter Voltage VBE. Due to reduction in V BE, base current IB reduces and hence collector Current
IC also reduces and the output remains constant.
For the common base amplifier the AC Input resistance is typically low from 10to100Ω.The output.

THEORY:

In common-collector amplifier the input is given at the base and the output is taken at the emitter. In
this amplifier, there is no phase inversion between input and output. The input impedance of the CC
amplifier is very high and output impedance is low. The voltage gain is less than unity. Here the collector is
at ac ground and the capacitors used must have a negligible reactance at the frequency of operation.

This amplifier is used for impedance matching and as a buffer amplifier. This circuit is also known as
emitter follower.

The most common use of the emitter follower is as a circuit, which performs the function of impedance
transformation over a wide range of frequencies.

A differential amplifier is a type of electronic amplifier that amplifies the


differencebetweentwoinputvoltagesbutsuppressesanyvoltagecommontothetwoinputs.
Differential amplifiers are usually implemented with a basic two-transistor circuit called a long-
tailed pair or differential pair. This circuit was originally implemented using a pair of vacuum
tubes. The circuit works the same way for all three-terminal devices with current gain. The
long-tail resistor circuit bias points are largely determined by Ohm's Law and less so by active
component characteristics.

THEORY
A cascode amplifier comprises of a common emitter amplifier and a common base amplifier
stages in cascade. In the circuit diagram Q1 common base configuration and Q2 is common emitter
configuration. Principal advantage of this circuit is its low internal capacitance which is a limiting factor
gain at high frequencies. Cascode amplifier can able to amplify wide range of frequencies than that is
possible with CE amplifier. This is because no high frequency feedback occurs from the output back to
input through the miller capacitance as it occurs in transistor CE configuration. Cascode amplifier
provides same voltage gain of CE amplifier but in wide range of frequencies. The advantage of CE and
CB stages are put together in cascode connection.
