Question
Activity 1: The following circuit uses two diodes D1, and D2 with threshold voltage of 0.7 V for each and one Zener diode D3 with same threshold voltage and reverse breakdown voltage of 5.1 V. 10Vp 500Hz R1 1kQ D1 V2 -2V D2 D3 RL 3kQ Vo (1-A) Explain the operation of the Zener diode in forward and in reverse bias. (1-B) Analyze the circuit thoroughly assuming many source values that lead to all possible cases of diodes states. For each case (Hint: 4 cases), re-plot the circuit and develop the relation between the output voltage and the source voltage. (1-C) Draw input and output waveforms accurately over 4-ms period. Identify the diodes states on the graph based on the categorization of cases from part (1-B).
