Fundamentals of Electronics EE231, Spring 2012 HOMEWORK # 1 Date due: Sunday 25th of March 2012

Exercise 1: For the circuit shown in figure 1, find the values of I and V [Hint: Having the two sources, it is difficult to say which diode is on or off. An easy way to tackle this problem is to assume that both are on, thus, fixing the direction of the currents as shown below, and then check whether the assumption is correct]. (10 marks)

Exercise 5: For the circuits in figures 6(a) and 6(b) Vm = 32 V and the PIV rating for all the diodes is -60 V. a) Calculate The dc output voltage Vdc for both circuits. (5 marks) b) Determine if the diodes of the two circuit will enter the Zener region under reverse bias conditions [Hint: Remember that the PIV rating is the voltage rating that must not be exceeded in the reverse-bias region or the diode will enter the Zener region].
