3 At the intersections of the load lines with the diode characteristic we find (a) v v 9.4 V ; (b) v v 6.0 V. E10.5 Writing a KV equation for the loop consisting of the source, the resistor, and the load, we obtain: ( i i) v he corresponding load lines for the three specified values of i are shown: At the intersections of the load lines with the diode characteristic, we find (a) v v 10 V; (b) v v 10 V; (c) v v 5 V. Notice that o o the regulator is effective only for values of load current up to 50 ma. E10.6 Assuming that 1 and 2 are both off results in this equivalent circuit: o Because the diodes are assumed off, no current flows in any part of the circuit, and the voltages across the resistors are zero. Writing a KV equation around the left-hand loop we obtain v 1 10 V, which is not consistent with the assumption that 1 is off. 315

4 E10.7 Assuming that 1 and 2 are both on results in this equivalent circuit: Writing a KV equation around the outside loop, we find that the voltage across the 4-kΩ resistor is 7 V and then we use Ohm s law to find that 1 i equals 1.75 ma. he voltage across the 6-kΩ resistance is 3 V so i x is 0.5 ma. hen we have i 2 i i ma, which is not consistent with the assumption that 2 is on. x E10.8 (a) If we assume that 1 is off, no current flows, the voltage across the resistor is zero, and the voltage across the diode is 2 V, which is not consistent with the assumption. If we assume that the diode is on, 2 V appears across the resistor, and a current of 0.5 ma circulates clockwise which is consistent with the assumption that the diode is on. hus the diode is on. (b) If we assume that 2 is on, a current of 1.5 ma circulates counterclockwise in the circuit, which is not consistent with the assumption. On the other hand, if we assume that 2 is off we find that v where as usual we have referenced v 2 positive at the anode. 2 3 his is consistent with the assumption, so 2 is off. (c) It turns out that the correct assumption is that 3 is off and 4 is on. he equivalent circuit for this condition is: 316

E10.9 (a) With R 10 kω, it turns out that the diode is operating on line segment C of Figure in the book. hen the equivalent circuit is: We can solve this circuit by using the node-voltage technique, treating v o as the node voltage-variable. Notice that v v. Writing a KC equation, we obtain vo 10 vo 6 vo Solving, we find v v V. Furthermore, we find that o i 1.39 ma. Since we have 6 V and i 0, the diode is in fact operating on line segment C. v (b) With R 1 kω, it turns out that the diode is operating on line segment B of Figure in the book, for which the diode equivalent is an open circuit. hen the equivalent circuit is: o Using the voltage division principle, we determine that v V. Because we have 6 v 0, the result is consistent with the assumption that the diode operates on segment B. 317

Refer to Figure in the book and notice that the x-axis intercept of the line segment is the value of the voltage source, and the reciprocal of the slope is the resistance. Now look at Figure 10.22a and notice that the intercept for segment A is zero and the reciprocal of the slope is (2 V)/(5 ma) 400 Ω. hus as shown in Figure 10.22b, the equivalent circuit for segment A consists of a 400-Ω resistance. Similarly for segment B, the x-axis intercept is +1.5 V and the reciprocal slope is (0.5 ma)/(5 V) 10 kω. For segment C, the intercept is -5.5 V and the reciprocal slope is 800 Ω. Notice that the polarity of the voltage source is reversed in the equivalent circuit because the intercept is negative. E10.11 Refer to Figure in the book.

For source voltages between 0 and 10 V, none of the diodes conducts and v o (t) v s (t). Finally when the source voltage exceeds 10 V, 1 is on and 2 is in the breakdown region so the output voltage is 10 V. he waveform is: 346

35 P10.64 P10.65 P

36 P10.67 P10.68 A clamp circuit adds or subtracts a dc component to the input waveform such that either the positive peak or the negative peak is forced to assume a predetermined value. An example circuit that clamps the positive peak to +5 V is shown below: We have allowed a forward drop of 0.6 V for the diode. P10.69 his is a clamp circuit that clamps the positive peaks to zero. 348

37 P10.70* Refer to the circuit shown in Figure P10.70 in the book. If the output voltage attempts to become less than -5 V, the Zener diode breaks down and current flows, charging the capacitance. hus the negative peak is clamped to -5 V. he input and output waveforms are: P10.71 he capacitor and diode act as a clamp circuit that clamps the negative peak of v C1 1 A ( t) to zero. hus, the waveform at point A is: 349

38 iode 2 and capacitor C2 act as a half-wave peak rectifier. hus, the voltage across R is the peak value of ( ) v t V. his is v t. hus, ( ) 2 m called a voltage-doubler circuit because the load voltage is twice the peak value of the ac input. he peak inverse voltage is 2 for both diodes. A V m P10.72* A suitable circuit is: P10.73 A suitable circuit is: 350

39 P10.74 (a) A suitable circuit is: We choose the resistors R and 1 R2 1 R2 Slope 3 R + R 1 2 to achieve the desired slope. hus, choose R1 2R2. For example, R1 2 k Ω and R2 1 k Ω. (b) A suitable circuit is: Other resistor values will work, but we must make sure that remains forward biased for all values of v, including v 10 V. o achieve the desired slope (i.e., the slope is 0.5) for the transfer characteristic, we must have R R. 1 2 in in 2 351

40 P10.75* A suitable circuit is: We must choose the time constant RC >>, where is the period of the input waveform. P10.76 A suitable circuit is: We must choose R 1 to ensure that the 5.6-V Zener is in the breakdown region at all times and choose the time constant RC >>, where is the period of the input waveform. P10.77 I Q represents the dc component of the diode current with no signal applied to the circuit, and i d (t) represents the changes from the Q-point current when the signal is applied. Furthermore i (t) is the total diode current. hus we have i () t I + i () t cos(200 πt) Q d 2 352

41 P10.78 he small signal equivalent circuit of a diode is a resistance known as the dynamic resistance. he dynamic resistance is the reciprocal of the slope of the i versus v characteristic at the operating point. P10.79 c sources voltage sources are replaced by short circuits in a small-signal equivalent circuit. By definition the voltage across a dc voltage source is constant. hus, even if there is ac current flowing through the dc source the ac voltage across it is zero as is the case for a short circuit. P10.80 We should replace dc current sources by open circuits in a small-signal equivalent circuit. he current through a dc current source is constant. hus, the ac current must be zero even if we apply an ac voltage. Zero current for a non-zero applied voltage implies that we have an open circuit. P10.81* A plot of the device characteristic is: Clearly this device is not a diode because it conducts current in both directions. he dynamic resistance is given by: 1 di 8 r dv 3v 2 A plot of the dynamic resistance versus v is: 353

42 P10.82 We are given 6 10 i for 5 V < v 0 3 < 1+ v 5 ( ) A plot of this is: he dynamic resistance is: v di r dv 5 o find the dynamic resistance at a given Q-point, we evaluate this expression for v V Q. For I 1.0 ma, we have V 4.5 V and r 167 Ω. Q Q For I 10.0 ma, we have V 4.77 V and r 7.48 Ω. Q Q 354

43 P10.83 We are given v (t) cos(ωt) V and i (t) cos(ωt) ma. he dynamic resistance is the ratio of the ac voltage amplitude to the ac current amplitude. vd 0.01 r 50 Ω i d he Q-point results if we set the ac signals to zero. hus, we have V 5 V and I 3 ma Q Q P10.84 ynamic resistance is given by di 1 r dv dv di Because voltage is constant for changes in current, the dynamic resistance is zero for an ideal Zener diode in the breakdown region. P10.85* o find the Q-point, we ignore the ac ripple voltage and the circuit becomes: hus, we have: 8 5 I sq 150 ma 20 I ma Q I I I 100 ma Q sq Q he small-signal or ac equivalent circuit is: where r is the dynamic resistance of the Zener diode. Using the voltage-division principle, the ripple voltage across the load is Rp vac V ripple R + R p 355

44 1 where Rp 1 R + 1 r is the parallel combination of the load resistance and the dynamic resistance of the diode. Substituting values, we find R 3 p Vac R Solving, we find R p Ω. hen, we have: 1 Rp which yields r Ω. r p 356
