Diode Theory and Application

1) Draw diode I-V characteristic, discuss its temperature dependence and obtain expression for [7]
diode dynamic resistance.
2) For a sinusoidal input of 10 V peak, sketch IR and VO in the circuit shown in Fig. Assume [7]
ideal diode with cut-in voltage equal to 0.7 V.

3) A symmetrical 5 KHz square wav that varies between + 10 V and -10 V is impressed [7]
upon the clipping circuit shown in Fig. Assume for diode: Rf (forward bias resistance) =
0, Rr (reverse bias resistance) = 2 MΩ, Cut-in voltage = 0. Sketch the steady state output
waveform, indicating value of maximum, minimum, and constant portion.

4) Explain in detail the energy band diagram of insulator, semiconductor and conductor. [7]
5) Draw switching waveform of diode and explain following terms. [7]
a) Storage time b) Transition time c) Reverse recovery time
6) Explain peace wise linear diode model. [3]
7) What is the purpose of filter? Explain capacitor filter with waveforms. [7]
8) Explain V-I characteristic of p-n junction. [7]
9) Compare half wave rectifier with full wave rectifier. [7]
10) A 230V,50Hz.a.c voltage is applied to the primary of a 5:1 step down transformer which is [7]
used in a bridge rectifier having a load resistor of value 500Ω.Assuming the diode to be
ideal, Determine the following: (1) d.c output voltage (2) d.c. power delivered to load (3)PIV
of each diode (4) output frequency.
