Question 1:
Find the values of I and V for the circuits of Fig.P9.37 assuming that the diodes are ideal.
Solution:
(a) D1is on and=D2 is off. V 10
= volts and I 0.
(b) D1 is on and =
D2 is off. V 6=volts and I 6 mA.
(c) Both D1 and= D2 are on. V 30
= volts and I 33.6 mA.
Question 2:
Amplifiers having Avo = 10, Ri = 2kΩ , and Ro = 2kΩ are available. How many of these
amplifiers must be cascaded to attain a voltage gain of at least 1000 when operating with a 1kΩ load.
Solution:
The voltage gain of an n-stage cascade is given by
n −1
Ri
RL
Av = A
n
= 10 n ( 12 )n −1 ( 13 )
Ro + Ri Ro + R L
vo
in which we have assumed that n ≥ 2. Evaluating for various values of n we have:
n Av
2 16.67
3 83.33
4 416.7
5 2083
Thus five amplifiers must be cascaded to attain a voltage gain in excess of 1000.
Question 3:
Consider the four resistor bias circuit of Fig. 12.22 with R1 = 200kΩ, R2 = 100kΩ ,
VCC = 15V , RC = 10kΩ, RE = 10kΩ , and β = 200 . Assume that VBE = 0.7V . Determine
I CQ and VCEQ .
Solution:
R2 1
V B = VCC = 5 V RB = = 66.67 kΩ
R1 + R2 1 / R1 + 1 / R2
VB − VBE
IB = = 2.071 µA
RB + ( β + 1) RE
I C = βI B = 0.4141 mA VCE = VCC − RC I C − RE ( I C + I B ) = 6.697 V
Question 4:
Consider the circuit shown in Fig. P12.52. Find R1 and RC if a bias point of VCE = 5V and
I C = 2mA is required.
Solution:
The circuit is:
We have:
15 + 0.7 I
I2 = = 157 µA I B = C = 20 µA
100 kΩ β
I1 = I 2 + I B = 177 µA
V − VBE 5 − 0.7
R1 = CE = = 24.3 kΩ
I1 177 × 10 −6
I = I C + I1 = 2.177 mA
15 − VCE
RC = = 4.59 kΩ
I
Question 5:
The circuit shown in Fig. P13.34 employs negative feedback. Use the summing-point constraint to
derive expressions for the voltage gains A1 = vo1 / vin and A2 = vo 2 / vin .
Solution:
Question 6:
Consider the amplifier shown in Fig. P13.32. Find an expression for the output current io . What is the
input impedance? What is the output impedance seen by RL ?
Solution:
The circuit diagram is:
R
io = −1 + 1 iin
R2
Because of the summing-point constraint, we have vin = 0. Thus Rin = 0. Because the output current is
independent of RL, the output impedance is infinite. In other words looking back from the load
terminals, the circuit behaves like an ideal current source.
