1.
a)
Draw the VI characteristic of a regular Si diode and mark the diode parameters on it. Explain
why the diode current is very less before breakdown and high after breakdown.

b)
The reverse saturation current ofa Ge diode is 0.5#A at room temperature of 27 °C. Determine
the forward voltage across the diode at a forward current of 20mA. If temperature is increased by
30°C, calculate the reverse saturation current and the forward voltage for the same forward
current at the new temperature.
Explain the principle behind the working of a photodiode, Draw its characteristics at different
light intensities explicitly showing dark current. Draw the relative spectral responses of Ge and
Si as compared to human eye. Justify which of the two materials would be preferred for IR
incident light.
A centre-tap full-wave rectifier using Si diodes has a 120 V- rms sine input and a load resistance
of | KQ. Determine (j) Output de voltage —_({i) PIV rating of each'diode (iii) peak current
through each diode during conduction,
Derive an expression for the ripple factor ofa FWR with shunt capacitor filter. Draw the relevant
waveforms.
Determine Rimin and Rimax to obtain an output voltage of 10V for a zener regulator
with Vi =20V, Pzmax = 400 mW and Rs= 2200. Draw the circuit diagram.
Write the truth table of a Full-adder and write the SOP expressions for its outputs. Realise the
SUM output using a 4-to-1 MUX.
Simplify the following Boolean expression and realize the simplified expression using NAND
gates.
