2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the piecewise linear model?
Think about how diodes are not just simple resistors.
Define cutting voltage.
What voltage does a diode need to start conducting?
What is the piecewise linear model primarily used for?
Think about which components behave non-linearly.
True or False: The cutting voltage for silicon diodes is generally around 0.6 to 0.7 volts.
Recall the typical behavior of silicon diodes.
Consider a diode circuit subjected to a varying input voltage that fluctuates between 0.5V and 1V. Analyze how the output voltage behavior will compare with a circuit where the input remains constant at 0.8V.
Think about how variation affects the average output.
Using the piecewise linear model, derive an expression for the output voltage as a function of input voltage for a diode operating above its cutting voltage with a resistance in series.
Factor in both the voltage drops across the diode and the series resistance.
