Question #1
• Calculate the output voltage V0, in the circuit shown in Figure 1. [5 marks]
Figure 1
Solution 1:
From Figure 1)

= −5 ∗ 𝑉𝐴 − 10 ∗ 𝑉𝐵
= −5(21𝑉𝑖 ) − 10𝑉𝑖
= −105𝑉𝑖 − 10𝑉𝑖 = −115𝑉𝑖

Question #2
• For the circuit in Figure 2, sketch and label the transfer characteristic V0 vs VI . The diodes
are assumed to have a constant 0.7V drop when conducting, and the op amp saturates at
± 12𝑉. What is maximum diode current? [5 marks]

Question #3

Solution 3:
From 𝑉+ = 𝑉− = 0, we see that 𝑣𝐷𝑆 = 𝑣𝑜 − 0 = 𝑣𝑜 . [3 marks]
We can write

Question #4
• Look at the op-amp circuit shown in Figure 4. An input signal vi = Asin(ωt) is
applied to the circuit and an output v0(t) = V0 sin(ωt+θ) is observed.
Determine the value of V0 and θ in terms of A, R, C1, C2 and ω.
