Lab 9: Diode Circuits

Clipping Circuit

1.) Construct the circuit shown below using a silicon diode.

Using Diode 1N5230B

And

R= 9.6k[math] \Omega[/math]

2.) Use a sine wave generator to drive the circuit so [math]V_{in} = V_0 \cos(2 \pi \nu t)[/math] where [math]V_0 = 0.1[/math] V and [math] \nu[/math] = 1kHz. (20 pnts)


3.)Based on your observations using a oscilloscope, sketch the voltages [math]V_{in}[/math] and [math]V_{out}[/math] as a function of time.

Outoput for several input voltages near the bias point

V_{in} = 0.5V V_{in} = 0.6 V V_{in} = 0.75 V V_{in} = 0.8 V V_{in} = 1.0 V

4.)Do another sketch for[math] V_0[/math] = 1.0 V and another for 10.0 V (DONT LET ANY SMOKE OUT!). (20 pnts)

V_{in} = 1 V V_{in} = 10 V

Differentiating Circuit with clipping

1.)Construct the circuit below.

2.)Select [math]R_1[/math] and [math]R_2[/math] such that the current from the +5V DC source is less than 1.0 mA and the DC voltage at [math]V_{out}[/math] is 3 V when there is no input pulse.

[math]R_1= 15 k\Omega[/math]

[math]R_2 = 10 k \Omega[/math]


3.)Select a capacitor [math](C)[/math]and a pulse width [math]\tau[/math] to form a differentiating circuit for the pulse from the signal generator. Hint: [math]R_{12}C \ll \tau[/math].


[math]C = 10.5 nF[/math]

4.)plot [math]V_{in}[/math] and [math]V_{out}[/math] as a function of time using your scope observations. (20 pnts)

5.) Now add the diode circuit from part 1 to prevent [math]V_{out}[/math] from rising above +5 V. Sketch the new circuit below.



6.)plot [math]V_{in}[/math] and [math]V_{out}[/math] as a function of time with the diode circuit you added using your scope observations. (the diode should clip off positive spikes)(20 pnts)


Notice the output pulse does not increase when V_{in} is increased

V_{in} = 4 V V_{in} = 7 V V_{in} =9V
