Diode Application
Graphical Manner Analysis:
The applied load will have an important impact on the
point of operation (Q- Point).
the applied load characteristics can be drawn as line.
The intersection of the load line with the
characteristics of diode will determine the point of
operation (or Q-Point).
Diode Application
Mathematical manner analysis:
Diode on state Diode off state
VD= 0.7 V for silicon and Due to the open circuit, the
VD=0.3V for germanium. diode current is 0 A
Series Diode Configuration with DC Input
EX: For the series diode configuration of Figure
below, determine (a) VD, VR , and ID, (b) repeat
with the diode reversed.
Solution:
Parallel and Series Parallel
Configuration with DC Input
Ex: Determine Vo, I1, ID1, and ID2 for the parallel diode
configuration of Fig. below.
Solution:
With the voltage source as shown in figure above, and the
direction of current as shown in figure above. So the two
diode are in the "on" state.
Homework
Determine I, V1, V2, and Vo for
the series dc configuration of
Fig. below.
