Theory: Clipping circuits are used to select and transmit a part of the given waveform. The other parts of the waveform are clipped or removed by the diode clipper circuit. These circuits are also known as voltage or current limiters, amplitude selectors or slicers. The piecewise linear model of diode characteristic exhibits a discontinuity in slope at the cut off voltage Vk. and this point of slope discontinuity is called a break point. For silicon diode the break point occurs at VK ~ 0.7V. This concept can be used to explain the transfer characteristics of a clipper circuit, which is a plot of output voltage against the input voltage.
Design: The limiting resistor R in the circuit can be designed in the following manner. From the diode forward and reverse characteristics, the resistance in either direction can be determined, respectively, as Rf and Rr. It can be shown that limiting resistor R =
RfRr . The ratio Rr/Rf can
be called the figure of merit of the diode. From V-I characteristics of diode, we have Rf= 20

Theory: Clamper is a circuit that "clamps" a signal to a different DC level without changing the shape of the applied signal Clamping circuit introduces a DC level into an ac signal. The different types of clampers are positive, negative and biased clampers. A clamping network must have a capacitor, a diode and a load resistor. The magnitude R and C must be chosen such that the time constant RC is large enough to ensure that the voltage across the capacitor does not discharge significantly during the interval when the diode is non- conducting. By connecting suitable DC voltage in series with the diode, clamping level can be varied.
Design: Assume C, and for clamping to occur select R such that RC >> T, (Assume RC = 100 T) where T is the period of the input signal. If C = 1uF, then from above equation R= 100K.

Procedure: 1. Study the circuit, expected waveform and transfer characteristic. 2. Place the components on bread board /connection board and connect them as given in circuit diagram fig 1a.

Theory: A voltage multiplier consists of two or more peak-rectifiers that produce a DC voltage equal to a multiple of peak input voltage (2VP, 3 VP, 4VP.). At the peak of negative half cycle of input, D1 is forward biased. This charges C1 to VP with the polarity as shown. At the peak of the positive halfcycle, D2 is forward biased. Since source and capacitor are in series, C2 charges to 2 VP. At the next negative half-cycle, D3 is forward biased and C3 is charged to 2VP.The voltage across C1 and C3 is charged to 3VP. Likewise, at the next half cycle, C4 is charged to 2VP and the voltage across C1 and C4 is charged 4VP.

Theory :- :- In RC coupled amplifier the input capacitor is used to couple the input signal to the base of first transistor. Since the coupling from one stage to next stage can be achieved by a coupling capacitor followed by a connection to a shunt resistor such amplifiers are called resistance capacitance (RC) coupled amplifiers. When an ac signal is applied to the input of the first stage it is amplified with a phase reversal by the transistor. The frequency response is a graph of the gain (in decibels) versus the frequency (in logarithmic scale). This characteristic can be subdivided into low, medium and high frequency regions. In the low frequency range, the gain drops due to increasing reactance of coupling capacitor, source capacitance and emitter capacitor. As the frequency increases, the capacitive reactance reduces and the gain increases. After this if the frequency is increased further, i.e. in the high frequency range, the gain drops due to the increased flow of the a.c signal through CE. To fix the boundaries of frequency where the gain is relatively high and constant, 0.707Amid is chosen to be the voltage gain at the cut-off levels. The corresponding frequencies f1 and f2 are generally called the corner, cut-off, band, break or half power frequencies. The multiplier 0.707 is chosen because at this level the output power is half the mid-band power output. This is illustrated in the model graph.

Theory: -In a capacitor coupled two stage amplifier circuit, each stage is similar to the single stage circuit. Stage-1 is connected to stage-2 via the coupling capacitor. The signal is applied at stage-1 and the load is coupled to the output of stage-2. The signal is amplified by stage-1, and the output of stage-1 is amplified again by stage-2, so that overall voltage gain is much greater than the gain of a single stage. The other advantage of two stage amplifier is no phase shift in the output voltage. As the signal voltage is phase shifted by through 180 degree by stage-1 and through a further 180 degree by stage-2, the overall phase shift from input to output is 360 degree or zero degree. Design of all the components except emitter bypass capacitors is similar to the single stage amplifier. Negative feedback is introduced by the unbypassed first stage emitter bypass capacitor to reduce the gain of the first stage. Procedure:- (To find, maximum undistorted gain, frequency response, refer the procedure given in single stage amplifier.) 10. Draw and study the circuit, 11.

Theory: In emitter follower, an input signal is applied to the base and the output is taken across emitter. The emitter follower has reasonably high input impedance and may be used wherever input impedance up to about 500 K Ohms is needed. For higher input impedance, we may use 2 transistors to form what is called a Darlington pair.. The output voltage is always less than the input voltage due to the drop between the base and emitter. However, the voltage gain is usually approximately equal to one. In addition, the output voltage is in phase with the input voltage. Hence it is said to follow the input voltage with an in-phase relationship. This accounts for the terminology Emitter follower. The collector is at ac ground; therefore the circuit is actually a Common-Collector Amplifier. This circuit presents high impedance at the input and low impedance at the output. It is therefore frequently used for impedance matching purposes, where a load is matched to the source impedance for maximum signal transfer through the system.
The Darlington connection shown is a connection of two transistors which results in a current gain that is the product of the current gains of the individual transistors. Hence the Darlington pair operates as one Super beta transistor offering a very high current gain. The Darlington Emitter follower is a CC configuration that has the following characteristics:

Voltage gain almost unity Current gain very high, a few thousands Input impedance high, hundreds of Kilo ohms Output impedance low, tens of ohms Darlington Emitter follower with Bootstrap The biasing network reduces the input impedance of the amplifier. By h-parameter model input impedance is the parallel combination of input resistance of the transistor and of the biasing network. The biasing network resistance is always less than the input resistance of the Darlington transistor. To improve the resistance of the circuit, a series circuit consisting of a resistor and a capacitor is connected between the emitter and the base. This process of connecting output to input through a resistor under ac conditions is called Bootstrapping.

EXPERIMENT 9:- FET CHARACTERISTICS
Aim: To plot the characteristic of FET and to find i)Drain dynamic resistance ii) Mutual conductance iii)Amplification factor. Components & Equipments required: Bread Board, FET (1 no- BFW10 /equt), Multimeter, DC Milliammeter -1no Regulated DC power supply (2no- 0 to 30V dc), Probes, Wires (As required). Theory: FET, the field Effect transistor is a 3 terminal, voltage controlled device with three terminals drain, source and gate. The current flows between drain and source and this current is controlled by the voltage between gate & source. Mainly there are two types of FET , they are i)JFET (Junction Field Effect Transistor) ii)MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor).. The FET has several advantages over conventional Bipolar junction transistor. 1. In a conventional transistor, the operation depends upon the flow of majority and minority carriers. That is why it is called bipolar transistor. In FET the operation depends upon the flow of majority carriers only. It is called unipolar device. 2. The input to conventional transistor amplifier involves a forward biased PN junction with its inherently low dynamic impedance. The input to FET involves a reverse biased PN junction hence the high input impedance of the order of M-ohm. 3. It is less noisy than a bipolar transistor. 4. It exhibits no offset voltage at zero drain current. 5. It has thermal stability. 6. It is relatively immune to radiation. The main disadvantage is its relatively small gain bandwidth product in comparison with conventional transistor. In FET the current is flowing through either P or N semiconductor and called as N channel or P channel . JFET. Ohmic contacts are then added on each side of the channel to bring the external connection. Thus if a voltage is applied across the bar, the current flows through the channel. The terminal from where the majority carriers (electrons) enter the channel is called source designated by S. The terminal through which majority carriers leaves the channel is called drain and designated by D. For an N-channel device, electrons are the majority carriers. Hence the circuit behaves like a dc voltage VDS applied across a resistance RDS. The resulting current is the drain current ID. If VDS increases, ID increases proportionally. Now on both sides of the n-type bar heavily doped regions of p-type impurity have been formed by any method for creating pn junction. These impurity regions are called gates (gate1 and gate2) as shown in the fig below.
DEPT OF ECE, PESIT
Page 36
Both the gates are internally connected and they are grounded yielding zero gate source voltage (VGS =0). The word gate is used because the potential applied between gate and source controls the channel width and hence the current. As with all PN junctions, a depletion region is formed on the two sides of the reverse biased PN junction. The current carriers have diffused across the junction, leaving only uncovered positive ions on the n side and negative ions on the p side. The depletion region width increases with the magnitude of reverse bias. The conductivity of this channel is normally zero because of the unavailability of current carriers. The potential at any point along the channel depends on the distance of that point from the drain, points close to the drain are at a higher positive potential, relative to ground, then points close to the source. Both depletion regions are therefore subject to greater reverse voltage near the drain. Therefore the depletion region width increases as we move towards drain. The flow of electrons from source to drain is now restricted to the narrow channel between the no conducting depletion regions. The width of this channel determines the resistance between drain and source. Procedure: 1. Study the circuit and expected outputs. 2. Place the components on bread board and connect them as per given test set up. Use wires for connection as required. 3. Output characteristic: - Set VGS to 0V and vary VDS and measure the corresponding ID . Upto pinch off voltage Vds in steps of 0.5 and then after in steps of 1V. Repeat this experiment when Vgs = -2V . 4. Transfer characteristic: - Set VDS to 10V i.e well above the pinch off voltage. And vary the VGS from 0V till ID becomes 0 in steps of -1V and note down the output current ID . Repeat this experiment for VDS =20V 5. Plot the graph of a. VDS Vs ID for various VGS b. VGS vs ID. 6. From the output characteristic, note down the pinching voltage Vp, max drain current IDSS and output resistance, rd ( VDS / ID ). 7. From the transfer characteristic measure the mutual conductance or transconductance gm ( ID/ VDS) at a given Q point.

Theory: For the field-effect transistor, the relationship between input and output quantities is nonlinear due to the squared term in Shockleys equation. Linear relationships result in straight lines when plotted on a graph of one variable versus the other, while nonlinear functions result in curves as obtained for the transfer characteristics of a JFET. Due to the nonlinear relationship between ID and VGS dc analysis can be done using c the mathematical approach or simplified graphical approach which limit solutions to tenths-place accuracy. Another distinct difference between the analysis of BJT and FET transistors is that the input controlling variable for a BJT transistor is a current level, while for the FET a voltage is the controlling variable. In both cases, however, the controlled variable on the output side is a current level that also defines the important voltage levels of the output circuit. The general relationships that can be applied to the dc analysis of all FET amplifiers Are IG 0 A and ID = IS Shockleys equation is applied to relate the input and output quantities: Three types of FET biasing generally used are :- a) fixed bias, which needs a separate dc source b) Self bias , by grounding gate through a resistor c) Voltage divider bias . When IDQ is given, the corresponding input parameter VGS can be get using transfer characteristic curve or using the Scholkey s equation . Values IDSS and VP are taken from the data sheet.
Procedure: 1. Study the circuit, Get IDSS & VP (VGS OFF) from the data sheet of BFW 10. Design the biasing resistors. 2. Take 2FETs and measure the IDSS and VP for the same from its transfer characteristics. 3. Place the components on bread board and connect them as given in circuit diagram. Use the wires for connection as required. 4. Set VDD to 12V DC.

Calculate the value of ,Is / Id using ; ID= VRD / RD and Is= VS / Rs, 6. Compare the measured ID , IS , VGS and VD S with the design value. 7. Repeat this experiment by changing the FET 8. Draw load line and locate Q point for the FETs. DEPT OF ECE, PESIT Page 41

Design:From the data sheet of BFW 10 :VGSoff = 8V So VP = 8V IDSS = 8 to 20mA, We will take IDSS =( 8+20)/2 = 14mA Given VDD = 12V IDmaxQ = IDSS/4 = 3.5mA VDSmin = 3V Then VGSQ = VP/2 = - 4V (Note :- If IDQ is other than IDSS/4, find VGSQ using Shockleys equation or from the transfer characteristic curve ) Take VG=1V Then Vs= VG- (VGS) = 1- (-4V) = 5V Rs = 5V/3.5mA = 1.42k Take Rs =1.5 k RD = (VDD-VDS-Vs ) / ID = 12 - 3 - 5 / 3.5 mA = 1.14k Take RD = 1.2k To get VG=1 V use suitable potential divider say R2 =100K and R1 =1.1 M take R1 =1 M
Result: It is observed that for variation of IDSS from ------------ value --------------, variation in VDSQ & IDQ changes from --------------- --- to ------------------------------

Theory: Small signal amplifiers can also be made using Field Effect Transistors or FET's. These devices have the advantage over bipolar transistors of having extremely high input impedance along with a low noise output making them ideal for use in amplifier circuits that have very small input signals. The design of an amplifier circuit based around a junction field effect transistor or "JFET", is exactly the same principle as that for the bipolar transistor circuit. A suitable quiescent point or "Q-point" needs to be found for the correct biasing of the JFET amplifier circuit with Common-source (CS) configuration. The JFET gate voltage Vg is biased through the potential divider network set up by resistors R1 and R2 and is biased to operate within its saturation region which is equivalent to the active region of the bipolar junction transistor. Unlike a bipolar transistor circuit, the junction FET takes virtually no input gate current allowing the gate to be treated as an open circuit. We can compare the JFET to the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) in the following table. JFET to BJT Comparison JFET Gate, (G) Drain, (D) Source, (S) Gate Supply, (VG) Drain Supply, (VDD) Drain Current, (iD) BJT Base, (B) Collector, (C) Emitter, (E) Base Supply, (VB) Collector Supply, (VCC) Collector Current, (iC)
The input signal, (Vin) of the common source JFET amplifier is applied between the Gate terminal and ground. With a constant value of gate voltage Vg applied the JFET operates within its "Ohmic region" acting like a linear resistive device. The drain circuit contains the load resistor, Rd. The output voltage, Vout is developed across this load resistance. The efficiency of the common source JFET amplifier can be improved by the addition of a resistor, Rs included in the source lead with the same drain current flowing through this resistor. Resistor, Rs is also used to set the JFET amplifiers "Q-point". When the JFET is switched fully "ON" a voltage drop equal to (Rs x Id) is developed across this resistor raising the potential of the source. Since the N-Channel JFET is a depletion mode device and is normally "ON", a negative gate voltage with respect to the source is required to modulate or control the drain current. This negative voltage can be provided by biasing from a separate power supply voltage or by a self biasing arrangement as long as a steady current flows through the JFET even when there is no input signal present and Vg maintains a reverse bias of the gate-source pn junction. In this example the biasing is provided from a potential divider network allowing the input signal to produce a voltage fall at the gate as well as voltage rise at the gate with a sinusoidal signal. Any suitable pair of resistor values in the correct proportions would produce the correct biasing voltage so the DC gate biasing voltage Vg is given as:
DEPT OF ECE, PESIT
Page 44

Note that this equation only determines the ratio of the resistors R1 and R2, but in order to take advantage of the very high input impedance of the JFET as well as reducing the power dissipation within the circuit, we need to make these resistor values as high as possible, with values in the order of 1 to terminal above 0v or ground level. This voltage drop across Rs due to the drain current provides the necessary reverse biasing condition across the gate resistor, R2 effectively generating negative feedback. In order to keep the gate-source junction reverse biased, the source voltage, Vs needs to be higher than the gate voltage, Vg. This source voltage is therefore given as:
Then the Drain current, Id is also equal to the Source current, Is as "No Current" enters the Gate terminal and this can be given as:
This potential divider biasing circuit improves the stability of the common source JFET amplifier circuit when being fed from a single DC supply compared to that of a fixed voltage biasing circuit. Both resistor, Rs and the source by-pass capacitor, Cs serve basically the same function as the emitter resistor and capacitor in the common emitter bipolar transistor amplifier circuit, namely to provide good stability and prevent a reduction in the loss of the voltage gain. However, the price paid for a stabilized quiescent gate voltage is that more of the supply voltage is dropped across Rs.The the value in farads of the source bypass capacitor is generally fairly high above 100uF and will be polarized. This gives the capacitor an impedance value much smaller, less than 10% of the transconductance, gm (the transfer coefficient representing gain) value of the device. At high frequencies the by-pass capacitor acts essentially as a shortcircuit and the source will be effectively connected directly to ground. Procedure:1. Study the circuit and Place the components on bread board and connect them as per given fig. 2. Connect the circuit without ac supply and check for the DC Conditions. 3. Connect the signal generator and apply a sine wave of peak-to-peak amplitude 20mV, 1kHz. Connect input and output (Vo) of the circuit to the two channels of CRO. 4.
