Question

For the attenuator circuit shown, assume C1 and C2 to be very large (∞) capacitors. Don’t be thrown off by the capacitors (How do they behave at DC? How do they behave at AC if C =∞). Assume D1 and D2 are identical diodes with n=1, V T = 25 mV (use the exponential model).

a. Determine the value of the dc voltage, V_N when I = 1mA.

b. Draw the small-signal equivalent circuit, replacing the diodes with their small signal resistive model, r_d.

c. Determine the value of V_o/V_s when I = 1mA.
