EXPT: 2. SOLDERING PRACTICE- SIMPLE CIRCUITS USING ACTIVE AND PASSIVE


COMPONENTS

Soldering is a process for joining metal parts with the aid of molten metal, where the melting
temperature is situated below that of material joined and where by the surface of part are coated
without turn in becoming molten. A soldering connection ensures metal continuity on the other
hand, when two metals are joined, behave like a single solid metal by joining disconnected. (or)
physically attaching to each other.
Types of soldering:
1. Iron soldering 2. Mass soldering
3. Dip soldering
4. Wave soldering

SOLDER ALLOYS:
Tin lead, Tin antimony, Tin lead antimony, Tn silver, Tin Zinc.
Soldering is an alloying process between two metals with which it divides some of the metal,
with which it comes into contact. A flux is used to remove this oxide from the area to be
soldered.

SOLDERING OF SOLDER ALLOY:

Even though the alloy Sb 60/pb 60 is cheaper and still finds a good market, it is advisable to
prefer Sn63/pb 37 for high quality inter connection because

It has a5c higher melting point which means soldering range is 5c higher. The tensile strength as
well as shoal strength of Sn60/pb 37 Is higher in comparison to Sn60/pb 40. Only tin trans the
inter molecular bond with copper of CU3Sn andCU6SN. The specific gravity of Sn63/ pb 37 is
also lesser than that of Sn60/ pb 40. Higher composition of tin increases the electrical as well as
thermal conductivity. I t also gives brightness to the joint flux.

FLUX: To aid the soldering process, a substance called flux is used. Flux has below three
purposes.
Remove the film of turnish from the metal surface to be soldered. To prevent the base metals
from being re exposed to oxygen in the air to be avoid oxidation during heating, which means
rotation of welding by preventing from oxidation. Assist in the transfer of heat to metal being
soldered.
The soldering process involves
1. Melting of the solder which makes the higher flux and brings the impurities suspended in it
to the surface.

2. Partial dissolution of some metals in the connection by solder.


3. Cooling and fusing solder with the metal quest often for locating a problem in the
functioning of the circuit. It is necessary to remove a component from the printed circuit board
and carryout the requisite tests on it.

The process of repair usually involves


Disassembly of a particular component.
Testing of component
Replacing of the component found defective.
4.In this process of removal and replacement of electronic devices, the process of soldering is
employed. specific gravity of Sn63/ pb 37 is also lesser than that of Sn60/p 40 that makes the
equipment lighter.

7 Connecting Wires - As required

THEORY:-
A p-n junction diode conducts only in one direction. The V-I
characteristics of the diode are curve between voltage across the diode and current
through the diode. When external voltage is zero, circuit is open and the potential
barrier does not allow the current to flow. Therefore, the circuit current is zero. When P-
type (Anode is connected to +ve terminal and n- type (cathode) is connected to –ve
terminal of the supply voltage, is known as forward bias. The potential barrier is reduced
when diode is in the forward biased condition. At some forward voltage, the potential
barrier altogether eliminated and current starts flowing through the diode and also in
the circuit. The diode is said to be in ON state. The current increases with increasing
forward voltage.
When n-type (cathode) is connected to +ve terminal and P-type (Anode) is
connected –ve terminal of the supply voltage is known as reverse bias and the potential
barrier across the junction increases. Therefore, the junction resistance becomes very
high and a very small current (reverse saturation current) flows in the circuit. The diode
is said to be in OFF state. The reverse bias current due to minority charge carriers.

6 Semiconductor Trainer Kit - 1
7 Connecting Wires - As required

Theory:-
A zener diode is heavily doped p-n junction diode, specially made to operate in
the break down region. A p-n junction diode normally does not conduct when reverse
biased. But if the reverse bias is increased, at a particular voltage it starts conducting
heavily. This voltage is called Break down Voltage. High current through the diode can
permanently damage the device
To avoid high current, we connect a resistor in series with zener diode. Once the
diode starts conducting it maintains almost constant voltage across the terminals what
ever may be the current through it, i.e., it has very low dynamic resistance. It is used in
voltage regulators.

THEORY:

A transistor is a three terminal active device. T he terminals are emitter, base, collector.
In CB configuration, the base is common to both input (emitter) and output (collector).
For normal operation, the E-B junction is forward biased and C-B junction is reverse
biased.
In CB configuration, IE is +ve, IC is –ve and IB is –ve. So,
VEB=f1 (VCB,IE) and
IC=f2 (VCB,IB)
With an increasing the reverse collector voltage, the space-charge width at the output
junction increases and the effective base width ‘ W’decreases. This phenomenon is
known as “Early effect”. Then, there will be less chance for recombination within the
base region. With increase of charge gradient with in the base region, the current of
minority carriers injected across the emitter junction increases.The current amplification
factor of CB configuration is given by,

THEORY:
A transistor is a three terminal device. The terminals are emitter, base,
collector. In common emitter configuration, input voltage is applied between base and
emitter terminals and out put is taken across the collector and emitter terminals.
Therefore the emitter terminal is common to both input and output.
The input characteristics resemble that of a forward biased diode curve. This
is expected since the Base-Emitter junction of the transistor is forward biased. As
compared to CB arrangement IB increases less rapidly with VBE . Therefore input
resistance of CE circuit is higher than that of CB circuit.
The output characteristics are drawn between Ic and VCE at constant IB. the
collector current varies with VCE unto few volts only. After this the collector current
becomes almost constant, and independent of VCE. The value of VCE up to which the
collector current changes with V CE is known as Knee voltage. The transistor always
operated in the region above Knee voltage, IC is always constant and is approximately
equal to IB.
The current amplification factor of CE configuration is given by
= I C/I B

8 Semiconductor Trainer Kit - 1
9 Connecting Wires - As required

THEORY: -
During positive half-cycle of the input voltage, the diode D1 is in forward bias
and conducts through the load resistor R1. Hence the current produces an output
voltage across the load resistor R1, which has the same shape as the +ve half cycle of
the input voltage.
During the negative half-cycle of the input voltage, the diode is reverse biased and
there is no current through the circuit. i.e, the voltage across R1 is zero. The net result
is that only the +ve half cycle of the input voltage appears across the load. The average
value of the half wave rectified o/p voltage is the value measured on dc voltmeter.
For practical circuits, transformer coupling is usually provided for two reasons.
1. The voltage can be stepped-up or stepped-down, as needed.
2. The ac source is electrically isolated from the rectifier. Thus preventing shock
hazards in the secondary circuit.

THEORY:-
The circuit of a center-tapped full wave rectifier uses two diodes D1&D2.
During positive half cycle of secondary voltage (input voltage), the diode D1 is forward
biased and D2is reverse biased.
The diode D1 conducts and current flows through load resistor RL. During negative half
cycle, diode
D2 becomes forward biased and D1 reverse biased. Now, D2 conducts and current
flows through the load resistor RL in the same direction. There is a continuous current
flow through the load resistor RL, during both the half cycles and will get unidirectional
current as show in the model graph. The difference between full wave and half wave
rectification is that a full wave rectifier allows unidirectional (one way) current to the load
during the entire 360 degrees of the input signal and half-wave rectifier allows this only
during one half cycle (180 degree).

THEORY:
A FET is a three terminal device, having the characteristics of high input impedance
and less noise, the Gate to Source junction of the FET s always reverse biased. In
response to small applied voltage from drain to source, the n-type bar acts as sample
resistor, and the drain current increases linearly with VDS. With increase in ID the ohmic
voltage drop between the source and the channel region reverse biases the junction
and the conducting position of the channel begins to remain constant. The VDS at this
instant is called “pinch of voltage”.
If the gate to source voltage (VGS) is applied in the direction to provide
additional reverse bias, the pinch off voltage ill is decreased.
In amplifier application, the FET is always used in the region beyond the
pinch-off.

THEORY:
The CE amplifier provides high gain & wide frequency response. The emitter
lead is common to both input & output circuits and is grounded. The emitter-base circuit
is forward biased. The collector current is controlled by the base current rather than
emitter current. The input signal is applied to base terminal of the transistor and
amplifier output is taken across collector terminal. A very small change in base current
produces a much larger change in collector current. When +VE half-cycle is fed to the
input circuit, it opposes the forward bias of the circuit which causes the collector current
to decrease, it decreases the voltage more –VE. Thus when input cycle varies through a
-VE half-cycle, increases the forward bias of the circuit, which causes the collector
current to increases thus the output signal is common emitter amplifier is in out of
phase with the input signal.

THEORY:

It is a four layer semiconductor device being alternate of P-type and N-type silicon. It
consists os 3 junctions J1, J2, J3 the J1 and J3 operate in forward direction and J2
operates in reverse direction and three terminals called anode A, cathode K , and a gate
G. The operation of SCR can be studied when the gate is open and when the gate is
positive with respect to cathode.

When gate is open, no voltage is applied at the gate due to reverse bias of
the junction J2 no current flows through R2 and hence SCR is at cutt off. When anode
voltage is increased J2 tends to breakdown.

When the gate positive,with respect to cathode J3 junction is forward biased


and J2 is reverse biased .Electrons from N-type material move across junction J3
towards gate while holes from P-type material moves across junction J3 towards

THEORY:
A Unijunction Transistor (UJT) is an electronic semiconductor device that
has only one junction. The UJT Uni Junction Transistor (UJT) has three terminals an
emitter (E) and two bases (B1 and B2). The base is formed by lightly doped n-type bar
of silicon. Two ohmic contacts B1 and B2 are attached at its ends. The emitter is of p-
type and it is heavily doped. The resistance between B1 and B2, when the emitter is
open-circuit is called interbase resistance.The original unijunction transistor, or UJT, is a
simple device that is essentially a bar of N type semiconductor material into which P
type material has been diffused somewhere along its length. The 2N2646 is the most
commonly used version of the UJT.

Circuit symbol
The UJT is biased with a positive voltage between the two bases. This causes a
potential drop along the length of the device. When the emitter voltage is driven
approximately one diode voltage above the voltage at the point where the P diffusion
(emitter) is, current will begin to flow from the emitter into the base region. Because the
base region is very lightly doped, the additional current (actually charges in the base
region) causes (conductivity modulation) which reduces the resistance of the portion of

the base between the emitter junction and the B2 terminal. This reduction in resistance
means that the emitter junction is more forward biased, and so even more current is
injected. Overall, the effect is a negative resistance at the emitter terminal. This is what
makes the UJT useful, especially in simple oscillator circuits.When the emitter voltage
reaches Vp, the current startsto increase and the emitter voltage starts to decrease.This
is represented by negative slope of the characteristics which is reffered to as the
negative resistance region,beyond the valleypoint ,RB1 reaches minimum value and this

INPUT CHARACTERISTICS:
The two sets of characteristics are necessary to describe the behavior of
the CE configuration one for input or base emitter circuit and other for the output or
collector emitter circuit.
In input characteristics the emitter base junction forward biased by a
very small voltage VBB where as collector base junction reverse biased by a very large
voltage VCC. The input characteristics are a plot of input current IB Vs the input voltage V
BE for a range of values of output voltage VCE . The following important points can be
observed from these characteristics curves.
1. The characteristics resemble that of CE configuration.
2. Input resistance is high as IB increases less rapidly with VBE
3. The input resistance of the transistor is the ratio of change in base emitter
voltage V BE to change in base current I B at constant collector emitter voltage ( VCE)
i.e... Input resistance or input impedance hie = V BE / I B at VCE constant.

OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS:
A set of output characteristics or collector characteristics are a plot of out
put current IC VS output voltage VCE for a range of values of input current IB .The
following important points can be observed from these characteristics curves:-
1. The transistor always operates in the active region. I.e. the collector current
IC increases with VCE very slowly. For low values of the VCE the IC increases
rapidly with a small increase in VCE .The transistor is said to be working in saturation
region.
Output resistance is the ratio of change of collector emitter voltage V CE , to
change in collector current I C with constant IB. Output resistance or Output impedance
hoe = V CE / I C at IB constant.
Input Impedance hie = V BE / I B at VCE constant
Output impedance hoe = V CE / I C at IB constant

THEORY:
A field-effect transistor (FET) is a type of transistor commonly used for weak-
signal amplification (for example, for amplifying wireless (signals). The device can
amplify analog or digital signals. It can also switch DC or function as an oscillator. In the
FET, current flows along a semiconductor path called the channel. At one end of the
channel, there is an electrode called the source. At the other end of the channel, there
is an electrode called the drain. The physical diameter of the channel is fixed, but its
effective electrical diameter can be varied by the application of a voltage to a control
electrode called the gate. Field-effect transistors exist in two major classifications.
These are known as the junction FET (JFET) and the metal-oxide- semiconductor FET
(MOSFET). The junction FET has a channel consisting of N-type semiconductor (N-

channel) or P-type semiconductor (P-channel) material; the gate is made of the


opposite semiconductor type. In P-type material, electric charges are carried mainly in
the form of electron deficiencies called holes. In N-type material, the charge carriers are
primarily electrons. In a JFET, the junction is the boundary between the channel and the
gate. Normally, this P-N junction is reverse-biased (a DC voltage is applied to it) so that
no current flows between the channel and the gate. However, under some conditions
there is a small current through the junction during part of the input signal cycle. The
FET has some advantages and some disadvantages relative to the bipolar transistor.
Field-effect transistors are preferred for weak-signal work, for example in wireless,
communications and broadcast receivers. They are also preferred in circuits and
systems requiring high impedance. The FET is not, in general, used for high-power
amplification, such as is required in large wireless communications and broadcast
transmitters.
Field-effect transistors are fabricated onto silicon integrated circuit (IC) chips. A single
IC can contain many thousands of FETs, along with other components such as
+Vcc=+12V
resistors, capacitors, and diodes.

PROCEDURE:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2. A signal of 1 KHz frequency and 50mV peak-to-peak is applied at the
Input of amplifier.
3. Output is taken at drain and gain is calculated by using the expression,
Av=V0/Vi

4. Voltage gain in dB is calculated by using the expression,


Av=20log 10(V0/Vi)
5. Repeat the above steps for various input voltages.
6. Plot Av vs. Frequency

7. The Bandwidth of the amplifier is calculated from the graph using the
Expression,
Bandwidth BW=f2-f1
Where f1 is lower 3 dB frequency
f2 is upper 3 dB frequency

PRECAUTIONS:

1. All the connections should be tight.


2. Transistor terminals must be identified properly
.
RESULT: The frequency response of the common source FET Amplifier and Bandwidth
is obtained.
