Homework #3 (Diodes and BJTs)
Deadline: 2017/12/04 in class

1. The circuit in Fig. 1 implements a complementary-output rectifier. Sketch and clearly label the
waveforms of vO+ and vO-. Assume a 0.7-V drop across each conducting diode. If the magnitude
of the average of each output is to be 12 V, find the required amplitude of the sine wave across
the entire secondary winding. What is the PIV of each diode?

2. Sketch and clearly label the transfer characteristic of the circuit in Fig.2 for -15V < vI < +15 V.
Assume that the diodes can be represented by the constant-voltage-drop model with VD = 0.7 V.
Also assume that the zener voltage is 6.8 V and that rz is negligibly small.

3. Two transistors have EBJ areas as follows: AE1 =200 m x 200 m and AE2 = 0.4 m x 0.4 m.
If the two transistors are operated in the active mode and conduct equal collector currents, what
do you expect the difference in their VBE values to be?

4. For a particular npn transistor operating at a VBE of 680 mV and IC = 1 mA, the iC-vCE characteristic
has a slope of 0.8 x 10-5 siemens. To what value of output resistance does this correspond? What
is the value of the Early voltage for this transistor? For operation at 10 mA, what would the output
resistance become?

5. A single measurement indicates the emitter voltage of the transistor in the circuit shown in Fig. 3
to be 1.0 V. Under the assumption that | VBE | = 0.7 V, what are VB, IB, IE, IC, VC, , and  ?

6. All the transistors in the circuits of Fig. 4 are specified to have a minimum  of 50. Find
approximate values for the collector voltages and calculate forced  for each of the transistors.
