SESSION Tuesday 1.00 pm – 5.00 pm
Prepared by:
Objective:
• To measure the forward and reverse- biased current and voltage characteristics for the PN junction
diode.
• To compare the I-V characteristics of a diode
.
Equipment:
Multisim
PART 1
Procedure:
1. Construct the circuit as below;
Figure. 1.1
4. Reverse the diode and write down the value for Ammeter and Voltmeter;
Figure 2.1
Table 1.1
2. Once you achieved the approximate VD value record down the ID current value in mA.
3. Using EXCEL plot ID vs VD. Identify your finding according to the graph that you plot.
Part B (Reverse Bias) Diode Chracteristic
Figure 2.2
1. Construct the circuit of Figure. 2.2. Set the Vbias to 0 V and then start to change the value until
you achieved the approximate VD value per Table 1.2 but in negative value. Set the Vbias with
negative value as well
3. Using EXCEL plot ID vs VD. Identify your finding according to the graph that you plot.
Table 1.2
Part 3: Zener Diode Regulation
Figure 2.3
2. Measure the value of VL and VR. Using the measured values, calculate the value for current across R,
IR, current across RL, IL, and current across the Zener diode, IZ.
