Problem 1 (DC analysis of linear network)


Find out the DC operating point (node voltages) of the circuit shown in Figure 1 by both hand-
calculation and simulation.

VR2

Problem 2 (DC analysis of nonlinear circuit)


Consider the circuit in Figure 2. Assuming the exponential model ( I  I eVD /VT ) for the diode,
D

hand-calculate the exact voltage across the diode (up to four places after the decimal point)using an
iterative method.
Simulate the DC operating point of the circuit using myDiode model (given in Appendix), and
compare the hand-calculated and simulated values.

Problem 3 (Transient analysis)


For the first-order RC network shown in Figure 3, simulate the behavior of this circuit subjectto a 0V
to 1V step input having a rise time of no more than 10 ns. Plot the voltage waveform across the
resistor and capacitor. Verify that voltage across the capacitor changes by 63% of its final value in a
time of one time constant.

Repeat the above experiment with the initial voltage of 0.5V across the capacitor and observethat initial
conditions affect the initial operating point (in transient analysis).

Problem 4 (AC analysis)


In AC analysis, the simulator computes the small-signal behavior using phasor analysis of a circuit by
first linearizing the circuit about a DC operating point. Compute the frequency response of the series
RLC network shown in Figure 4. Plot both the magnitude and phase behavior of the loop current and the
voltage across resistor, capacitor and inductor over a frequency range of 1mHz to 1MHz . Use 10 points
per decade in your plot.

Also, observe the following and comment:


1. The frequency response does not change with the change in initial conditions of thecapacitor
and inductor which of course affects the DC operating point. Why is it so?
2. At resonant frequency the magnitude of the voltage across capacitor and
inductor depends on the value of the resistor and can be greater than the sourcevoltage
magnitude. If so, can the circuit be used as a voltage amplifier? If yes, then what about its
power gain?
