1. Explain how the following circuit can perform a constant current source.

Solution:
Since V+ = V-, V+ = Vout. As Vout = Vadj + 1.25, the output current = (Vout – Vadj)
/ R1 = 1.25 / R1.
Solution:
(a) The load should be of capacitive in order to cancel the effect of the output inductance
L. That is, 2 p f L = 1 / (2 p f) C. Thus, C = 1 / (4 p 2 f2 L).
(b) Since the reactance is canceled, only the resistance is considered. Thus, the maximum
extractable power is (Voc2) / (4 R).

(c) As depicted in the answer of part (a), the value of C is frequency dependent. Hence, a
passive component cannot be used to match at any excitation frequency.
3. An AC/DC converter is supplied by a pure sinusoidal voltage source v(t ) . Its input
current i (t ) contains infinite current harmonics. v(t ) and i (t ) are expressed as the
following Fourier series
v(t ) = Vm ,1 cos (w t ) V
¥
i (t ) = å I m ,n cos (n w t - jn ) A
n =1
Solution:
