  1. Lecture #14 Example circuits, Zener diodes, dependent sources, basic amplifiers • Reading: 4.10, 5.1, 5.8 • Next: transistors (chapter 6 and 14) EE 42 fall 2004 lecture 14

  2. Topics Today: Examples, circuit applications: • Diode circuits, Zener diode • Use of dependent sources • Basic Amplifier Models EE 42 fall 2004 lecture 14

  3. Notes on Use of Models • Most of the diode models are piecewise defined: • One function for reverse bias • Another for forward bias • You will need to: • “Guess” which diode or diodes are reverse (or forward) biased • Solve for V, I according to your guess • If result is impossible, guess again • Rarely, both guesses may lead to impossibility. • Then you must use a more detailed model EE 42 fall 2004 lecture 14

  4. Example 1: Ideal Diode Model 1 kW Find ID and VD using the ideal diode model. • Is the diode reverse biased or forward biased? • Make a guess, substitute corresponding circuit for diode. • “Reality check” answer to see if we need to re-guess. ID + _ + - 2 V VD I I Forward bias + _ Reverse bias V V EE 42 fall 2004 lecture 14

  5. IL + VL - Linear circuit Guessing the Diode Mode: Graphing • Look at the diode circuit as a Thevenin equivalent linear circuit attached to a diode. VL = VD IL = -ID • Graph the diode I-V curve and the linear circuit I-V curve on the same graph, both in terms of ID and VD. • This means draw the diode I-V curve normally, and draw the linear I-V curve flipped vertically (IL = -ID). • See where the two intersect—this gives you ID and VD. ID + _ VD EE 42 fall 2004 lecture 14

  6. Example 1: Ideal Diode Model • Forward biased • VD = 0 V • ID = 2 mA ID 2 mA 2 V VD EE 42 fall 2004 lecture 14

  7. Guessing the Diode Mode: “Common Sense” 1 kW • Notice the polarity of the 2 V falling over the resistor and diode • The 2 V is in same direction as VD • Diode is probably forward biased • It’s generally easier to guess reverse bias first since it is easy to check. • No matter what piecewise model we use, reverse bias is always open circuit. • So when you don’t know what to do, put in open circuit for the diode, and see if it violates reverse bias conditions (zero current, negative voltage). ID + _ + - 2 V VD EE 42 fall 2004 lecture 14

  8. Example 1: Ideal Diode Model 1 kW • Guess reverse bias: • Since no current is flowing, VD = 2 V (by KVL) • This is impossible for reverse bias (must have negative VD)  So the diode must be forward biased • VD = 0 V • ID = 2 V / 1 kW = 2mA • Same as what we got graphically. ID + _ + - 2 V VD 1 kW ID + _ + - 2 V VD EE 42 fall 2004 lecture 14

  9. Example 2: Large-Signal Diode Model • The large-signal diode model takes into account voltage needed to forward bias, (VF = 0.7 for silicon) to find ID and VD. • To be in forward bias mode, the diode needs 0.7 V. • The source only provides 0.5 V. • The resistor cannot add to the voltage since the diode could only allow current to flow clockwise. • Reverse bias => open circuit => ID = 0 A, VD = 0.5 V 1 kW ID + _ + - 0.5 V VD EE 42 fall 2004 lecture 14

  10. Zener diodes • A Zener diode is the name commonly used for a diode which is designed for use in reverse breakdown • Since the diode breaks down sharply, at accurate voltage, it can be used as a voltage reference • The symbol for a Zener diode: EE 42 fall 2004 lecture 14

  11. Zener diode as a simple regulator • The Zener diode shown here will keep the regulated voltage equal to its reverse breakdown voltage. R ~ Constant voltage power supply to load EE 42 fall 2004 lecture 14

  12. Resistor sizing • How big should R be in the regulator shown? • If the load draws a current I, then the resistor must carry that current when the unregulated voltage is at the lowest point, without letting the regulated voltage drop. • Lets say the load draws 10 milliamps, the regulated voltage is 2 volts, and the minimum unregulated voltage (low point of ripple) is 2.5 volts) • The resistor must be • R=(2.5v-2v)/10 milliamps=500 ohms. EE 42 fall 2004 lecture 14

  13. Ripple calculation • How much ripple will be observed on the unregulated supply? • The maximum current will be: • And we can estimate the amount of charge lost: • So the ripple will be EE 42 fall 2004 lecture 14

  14. Here the voltage V is proportional to the voltage across the element c-d . c + V = A x V v cd + V cd - - d Dependent Voltage and Current Sources • A linear dependent source is a voltage or current source that depends linearly on some other circuit current or voltage. • We can have voltage or current sources depending on voltages or currents elsewhere in the circuit. + - OR Sometimes a diamond-shaped symbol is used for dependent sources, just as a reminder that it’s a dependent source. Circuit analysis is performed just as with independent sources. EE 42 fall 2004 lecture 14

  15. input Differential Amplifier V0 V+ + A  V V0 depends only on input (V+  V-) WHY DEPENDENT SOURCES?EXAMPLE: MODEL FOR AN AMPLIFIER AMPLIFIER SYMBOL output EXAMPLE:A =20 Then if input (V+-V-) = 10mV; Vo = 200mV. An actual amplifier has dozens (to hundreds) of devices (transistors) in it. But the dependent source allows us to model it with a very simple element. EE 42 fall 2004 lecture 14

  16.

  17. NODAL ANALYSIS WITH DEPENDENT SOURCES Example circuit: Voltage controlled voltage source in a branch R5 R1 R3 V V V a b c R2 + ISS VAA R4 R6 +  AvVc  Write down node equations for nodes a, b, and c. (Note that the voltage at the bottom of R2 is “known” so current flowing down from node a is (Va AvVc)/R2.) CONCLUSION: Standard nodal analysis works EE 42 fall 2004 lecture 14

  18. NODAL ANALYSIS WITH DEPENDENT SOURCES Finding Thévenin Equivalent Circuits with Dependent Sources Present Method 1: Use Voc and Isc as usual to find VT and RT (and IN as well) Method 2: To find RT by the “ohmmeter method” turn off only the independent sources; let the dependent sources just do their thing. See examples in text (such as Example 4.3) and in discussion sections. Pay most attention to voltage-dependent voltage sources and voltage-dependent current sources. We will use these only.

R V V a c 3 R 2 ISS R + 6 A V  v cs With method 2 we first find open circuit voltage (VT) and then we “measure” input resistance with source ISS turned off.
