    115 views4 pages
    This document discusses analyzing semiconductor PN junction diode circuits with DC inputs. It covers series, parallel, and series-parallel diode configurations. For each configuration, the document explains how to determine which diodes are on or off based on current direction and voltage. It then provides examples of determining voltage, current, and resistance values for different series, parallel, and series-parallel diode circuits. The document is a continuation from previous chapters and contains problems for readers to practice analyzing diode circuits.

    SERIES DIODE CONFIGURATION WITH DC INPUTS

    In this section the approximate model is utilized to investigate a number of series


    diode configurations with dc inputs. The content will establish a foundation in
    diode analysis that will carry over into the sections to follow. The procedure
    described can, in fact, be applied to networks with any number of diodes in a
    variety of configurations.
    For each configuration the state of each diode must be first to determined, which
    diodes are “ON” and which are “OFF”? Once determined, the appropriate
    equivalent can be substituted and the remaining parameters of the network
    determined.
    In general, a diode is in the “ON” state if the current established by the applied
    sources is such that its direction matches that of the arrow in the diode symbol,
    and Vd ≥ 0.7V for silicon and Vd ≥ 0.3V for germanium.

    Keep the following in mind for the analysis to follow:


    1. An open circuit can have any voltage across its terminals, but the current is
    always 0A.
    2. A short circuit has a 0-V drop across its terminals, but the current is limited
    only by the surrounding network.

    PROBLEMS:
    1. For the series diode configuration. Determine Vd, VR, and Id.

    2. Repeat example 1 with the diode reversed.


    3. For the series diode configuration of figure. Determine Vd, VR, and Id.

    4. Determine Vo and Id for the series circuit.

    5. Determine Id, Vd, and Vo for the circuit.

    6. Determine I, V1, V2, and Vo for the series configuration.


    PARALLEL AND SERIES - PARALLEL CONFIGURATIONS

    The methods applied in the previous series configuration can be extended to the
    analysis of parallel and series-parallel configurations. For each area of application,
    simply match the sequential series of steps applied to series diode configurations.

    PROBLEMS:

    1. Determine Vo, I1, ID1, and ID2 for the parallel diode configuration of Fig.
    2.30.

    2. Determine the current I for the network of Fig. 2.32.


    3. Determine the voltage Vo for the network of Fig. 2.34.

    4. Determine the currents I1, I2, and ID2 for the network of Fig. 2.36.
