What is a non-linear circuit?
Consider components like diodes.
Define the cut-in voltage.
Think about voltage thresholds.
What happens to the current through a diode when the voltage exceeds the cut-in voltage?
Refer to the I-V characteristics of a diode.
True or False: In reverse bias, a diode will allow current to flow.
Think about the diode structure and operation.
Given the I-V characteristics of a silicon diode, calculate the output voltage across the diode when the input voltage is 1.5V and the forward current approaches the cut-in voltage.
Don't forget to consider the diode's I-V characteristics.
In a circuit with a diode and resistor, how does the output voltage change when a small AC signal is superimposed on a DC bias? Explain your reasoning.
Think about the performance of the diode in both AC and DC conditions.
