Diodes
1) Measure and graph the current through a diode vs the voltage applied across it for both forward
and reserve biasing voltage. Use a DC power supply, zener diode, resistor(s) and multimeter. The
forward current in the diode should not exceed 300 mA.
P517: Do one part of the next three.
P617: Do two parts of the next three.
2) Build a clipping circuit that limits the voltage swing from -0.6 V to 5.6 V. Use a 1 kΩ input
resistor. Derive the 5 V reference from a 5 V source (power supply). Apply a 1 kHz sine wave.
Vary the amplitude of the input voltage and capture using the PC's WAVESTAR program pictures
of the input and output waveforms (2 waveforms/picture). Repeat for a triangular input waveform.
3) Build a full wave rectifier. Capture using the PC's WAVESTAR program a picture of the input
and output waveforms (2 waveforms/picture). Modify the circuit so that the output voltage
approximates DC. What is the ripple factor for your circuit? Use your signal generator for the
voltage source. Use a transformer to couple the input voltage to your circuit. Details on rectifier
circuits can be found in almost every electronics book. Here are two sources: Simpson (P187 and
P857, experiment 10) and Hayes and Horwitz Student Manual (P76).
4) The following circuit is called a voltage doubler. Build it and find out why it has earned this
name. Pick RC >> the period of Vin. What is the relationship between Vp and Vout? Capture using
the PC's WAVESTAR program a picture of the Vin, Vp, and Vout waveforms. How could you make
a voltage quadrupler? See Diefenderfer P120 for details. Also Simpson P193 for a slightly
different version of this circuit.
