An asymmetrical periodic pulse train \( v_{in} \) of 10 V amplitude with on-time \( T_{ON} = 1\,ms \) and off-time \( T_{OFF} = 1\,s \) is applied to the circuit shown in the figure. The diode \( D1 \) is ideal. The difference between the maximum voltage and minimum voltage of the output waveform \( v_o \) in integer is V.
GATE 2021 Analog Electronics Q1 diode circuit diagram
Solution
In steady state, the capacitor charges to the peak input voltage when the diode is forward biased (ideal diode acts as a short).
Equation
\[V_C = V_{in,peak} = 10\,V\]
The output voltage is given by KVL:
Equation
\[V_{out} = V_{in} - V_C\]
During the ON time (\(T_{ON}\)), \(V_{in} = 10\,V\):
Equation
\[V_{out} = 10 - 10 = 0\,V\]
During the OFF time (\(T_{OFF}\)), \(V_{in} = 0\,V\) (assuming pulse goes 0 to 10V):
Equation
\[V_{out} = 0 - 10 = -10\,V\]
The difference between max and min output voltage:
In the circuit shown below, a square wave of peak-to-peak amplitude 20 V and zero average value is applied. Assuming all components are ideal, what will be the average output voltage \( V_o \) across the resistor?
GATE 2021 Analog Electronics Q2 capacitor circuit diagram
Solution
A square wave with 20V peak-to-peak and zero average means it swings from -10V to +10V. The circuit configuration (series capacitor, shunt diode) is a clamper. - During the negative half cycle (\(V_{in} = -10V\)), the diode conducts and charges the capacitor to \(V_C = 10V\) (polarity: left plate -, right plate +). - The output voltage is \(V_{out} = V_{in} + V_C\). - When \(V_{in} = +10V\), \(V_{out} = 10 + 10 = 20V\). - When \(V_{in} = -10V\), \(V_{out} = -10 + 10 = 0V\). The output is a square wave swinging from 0V to 20V. The average value of this 0-20V square wave is:
Equation
\[V_{avg} = \frac{20 + 0}{2} = 10\,V\]
Thus, the average output voltage \( V_o = 10\,V \).
