![Four diodes and one Zener diode are connected to form the circuit below.
a) Describe how a single diode behaves when forward biased.
5) draw the output as the input changes from -12 V to +12 V. Assume that all diodes can be
represented by a constant-voltage of 0.6 V (in forward bias) and the Zener diode has a
breakdown voltage of 6.8 V.
d) What is the function of the circuit? Suggest a proper application.
