Transcribed Image Text:### Exercise 4.87: Transfer Characteristic of Limiter Circuits
**Objective:** Sketch the transfer characteristic \( v_o \) versus \( v_i \) for the limiter circuits shown in Figure P4.87.
**Background:**
- All diodes in the circuits begin conducting at a forward voltage drop of 0.5 V.
- The voltage drop across the diodes is 0.7 V when conducting a current \( i_D \geq 1 \) mA.
#### Circuit Descriptions:
##### Circuit (a):
- The circuit consists of a series connection of a resistor (1 kΩ) and a diode with a +3 V supply voltage connected at the cathode of the diode.
- The input voltage \( v_i \) is applied at the left, and the output voltage \( v_o \) is taken across the diode.
##### Circuit (b):
- Similar to circuit (a), this circuit features a resistor (1 kΩ) and a diode.
- The difference is that the anode of the diode is connected to a +3 V supply.
- The configuration is otherwise the same, with \( v_i \) applied at the input and \( v_o \) taken across the diode.
**Figure P4.87:**
- Two schematic diagrams, each depicting a voltage limiter circuit with different diode orientations.
- Both circuits use a 1 kΩ resistor and a +3 V DC source.
- The orientation of the diodes is critical for determining the direction of current flow and the resulting output voltage characteristics.
**Analysis Request:**
- Develop a graphical representation to better understand how the input voltage \( v_i \) affects the output voltage \( v_o \) for each circuit configuration.
- Consider the diode conduction thresholds and the effect of the series resistor on the circuit behavior.
---
This educational material provides a foundation for understanding limiter circuits and diode conduction behavior in various electronic applications.
