EE3350 Electronics I - - Mid-term Example Summer 2011

Exam groundrules: This exam will e open oo! "and#or a $1% e&uations summar'
sheet() ut with no other re*erence material permitted+ ,s should e expected - ring
calculator) lots o* scratch paper and extra pencils
In m' sample) I re*erence similar "or identical( prolems in the oo! - - on the exam) I
will not do this+

1-- , current source has an internal resistance o* 100 !.hm+ /hat is the largest load
resistance i* the current source must appear sti**0
1-21 2ou are in our la loo!ing at a circuit li!e 3ig+ 1-20 - - 4escrie an experimental
proceedure *or measuring the The5inin 5oltage and the The5enin resistance+
2-- , silicon diode has a sur*ace lea!age current o* 10n, at a re5erse 5oltage o* 106+ I*
the re5erse 5oltage is increased to 1006) what is the sur*ace lea!age current0
4raw a diode cur5e and lael all signi*icant points and areas+ 7hange scaling as
appropriate to show the characteristics o* a 189005 diode+
3-31- :i5en a silicon diode with a re5erse current o* 5 u, at 257 and 100 u, at 1007)
calculate the sur*ace lea!age current+

5-1- - The >ener diode o* 3ig+ 5-90 is a 189?99,+ /hat is the minimum >ener 5oltage0
The maximum0
5-31; 4esign a >ener regulator to meet these speci*ications: @oad 5oltage is A+16) source
5oltage is 206 and the load current is 30 m,+
