2EC102 Analog Electronics

1. Referring to the figure shown, Calculate gain

2. The circuit of figure uses an ideal operational amplifier. For small positive values
of Vin, Identify function of the circuit.

3. Sketch the output as a function of the input voltage (for negative values) for
circuit shown below. Assume ideal operational amplifier and diode forward
voltage drop as zero.
 4. Neatly sketch and label the DC transfer characteristic (V o verses Vin) of the circuit
shown, as Vin varies from – 2 volts to + 2 volts.
Assume ideal operational amplifier and the diodes have a forward voltage of 0.6
volts and zero incremental resistance

5. In the circuit shown, assume that the OP-AMP is ideal.

a.Obtain an expression for Vo in terms of Vs, R and the reverse saturation current Is of
the transistor.
b. If R = 1 Ω, Is = 1 pA and the thermal voltage V T = 25 mV, then what is the value
of the output voltage Vo for an input voltage Vs of 1 volt?
c. Suppose that the transistor in the feedback path is replaced by a PN junction
diode with a reverse saturation current of I s. The P-side of the diode is connected to
node A and the N-side to node B. then what is the expression for V o in terms of Vs, R
and Is ?
