SOLUTIONS TO APRIL/MAY-2012, SET-4, QP
Q1. (a) An inductor does not allow sudden
changes in current and a capacitor does
not allow sudden changes in voltage.
Justify with relevant equations.
Answer : April/May-12, Set-4, Q1(a) M[4]
An Inductor does not Allow Sudden Changes in Current
In a circuit, when an inductor is employed as an
element, voltage gets developed across it, if there is a rate of
change of current.
Consider an inductor connected across a supply voltage
V
S
. Let i be the current flowing through it as shown in the
following figure.
The voltage across the inductor is given by,
V =

Suppose, at t = 0

i.e., just before closing the switch,


the current through the inductance is zero. At t = 0, the
switch is closed. Suppose at t = 0
+
i.e., just after closing the
switch, a current of 5 A is expected through the inductor.
This would happen, if and only if the voltage across the
inductor becomes infinity i.e.,
V =

But, 0

V =

) 5 ( L
=
But, infinite voltage across an inductor when input
voltage is finite is not possible. Hence, due to this, the current
through an inductor cannot change within zero time i.e.,
instantaneously, rather it increases gradually and requires
some finite time. During this period, the current through the
inductor takes the previous value,
i.e., i(0
+
) = i(0

)
A Capacitor does not allow Sudden Changes in Voltage
In a circuit, when a capacitor is employed as an
element, current is induced through it, if there is a rate of
change of voltage.
Consider a capacitor connected across a supply
voltage V
S
, let V be the voltage across it as shown in the
figure. The current through the capacitor is given by,
i = C

Figure
Assume that at t = 0

i.e., just before closing the switch,
the voltage across the capacitor is zero. At t = 0, the switch
is closed.
Also assume that at t = 0
+
i.e., just after closing the
switch, the voltage of 3V is expected across the capacitor.
This occurs only when the current through the capacitor
becomes infinity i.e.,
i = C

Hence, a small change in voltage across a capacitor
within zero time gives an infinite current through the
capacitor, which is physically impossible. In a fixed
capacitance, the voltage cannot change abruptly.

(b) What are the disadvantages of RL linear
wave shaping circuit compared to RC
circuit?
Answer : April/May-12, Set-4, Q1(b) M[3]
1. At low frequencies, the shunt inductor in a RL linear
wave shaping circuit becomes large which cannot be
reduced.
2. A heavy iron core inductor should be employed to
obtain larger values of inductor in order to achieve
higher time constants.
3. A large distributed capacitor should be employed in
parallel to an iron cored inductor.
4. Higher value of inductors are very expensive.
5. Unwanted distortions may occur in RL circuits due
to the non-linear properties of iron.
(c) A symmetrical square wave of 5 V at
a frequency of 5 kHz is applied to a high
pass RC circuit with a cut-off frequency
of 20 kHz. Sketch the steady state input
and output voltage waveforms.
Calculate the steady state output voltage
levels.
Answer : April/May-12, Set-4, Q1(c) M[8]

Answer : April/May-12, Set-4, Q2(b) M[5]
Steps to Analyze a Clamping Network
The various steps involved in the analysis of a clamping network are,
Step 1
Portion of the input of the clamping network is considered which forward biases the diode.
S. 61 Pulse and Digital Circuits (April/May-2012, Set-4) JNTU-Hyderabad
( JNTU-Hyderabad ) B.Tech. II-Year II-Sem.
Step 2
When the diode is in ON state (i.e., conducts), consider that the charging of the capacitor occurs rapidly to a
voltage level which is estimated by the network input.
Step 3
When the diode is in OFF state (i.e., not conducting), it is assumed that the capacitor holds its voltage level
(because of the large time constant).
Step 4
The output is then analyzed and the respective waveforms are plotted.

transistor enters into cut-off and becomes OFF. (i.e., V
BE
should be ve for pnp and +ve for npn)
As the transistor is in cut-off region,
I
C
= 0
Hence, no voltage drops across R
C
= 2.2 k
Then the circuit becomes as,
18 V
6 V
2.2 k
V

The diode is forward biased due to less voltage at

When,

Substituting V

in equation (1), we get,
V
BE
= 0.797 ( 6) + 1.217
= 4.782 + 1.217
V
BE
= 3.565 V
Since, V
BE
is negative, the transistor operates in
saturation region.
i.e., V

Then, the diode is reverse biased.
Hence, the output voltage is low,

(b) With neat sketches representing

Answer : April/May-12, Set-4, Q3(b) M[5]
For answer refer Unit-III, Q1, (Exclude first 2 Paras).
Q4. (a) Explain various methods to improve
the resolution of a binary.
Answer : April/May-12, Set-4, Q4(a) M[3]
There are three methods to improve the resolution of
a binary. They are,
1. Reducing all stray capacitances
2. Reducing the resistors R
1
, R
2
and R
C
3. Avoiding the transistor to enter into saturation.
1. Reducing all Stray Capacitances
When the values of the stray capacitances are
reduced, their charging time decreases. Because of this the
transistor enters into the state opposite to its present state
in a small amount of time.
2. Reducing the Resistors R
1
, R
2
and R
C
When the values of the resistors R
1
and R
2
are
reduced, the charging time of the transpose (commutating)
capacitors and the recovery time are reduced. This reduction
in charging time increases the speed of transition (from one
state to another state) in transistors.
3. Avoiding the Transistor to Enter into Saturation
The storage time of a non-saturated transistor
decreases which results in the rapid switching of transistors
from ON to OFF state.

Q6. (a) Draw the bidirectional diode sampling
gate in the form of a bridge network and
explain its working.
Answer : April/May-12, Set-4, Q6(a) M[8]
For answer refer Unit-VI, Q11.
(b) Explain how a sampling gate is used in
chopper amplifier.
Answer : April/May-12, Set-4, Q6(b) M[7]
Chopper Amplifier
In this case sampling is done by synchronous
demodulater or which makes the output voltage V
o
to take
the shape of input signal V
i
by passing V
o
through a low-
pass filter such that only signal frequency appears at the
output and the square wave gets rejected. In this way the
amplified replica of original signal is obtained.
Operation of the Chopper Amplifier
Chopper amplifier is a device, used to amplify the
very small signals of the order of millivolts. The circuit
arrangement of chopper amplifier and its input and output
waveforms are shown below in figures (1) and (2)
respectively.

Figure (2): Input and Output Waveforms of Chopped Amplifier
The low-frequency signal of amplitude V, shown in
figure 2(a) is applied at the input of the chopper amplifier. As
the switch S
1
at the input side is operated alternately. The
input signal gets chopped and the resulting chopped signal
shown in figure 2(b) is applied at the input of the A.C amplifier.
The amplitude of the chopped waveform is V when
S
1
is opened and is 0 when S
1
is closed.
As the frequency of operation of switch S
1
, is very
high when compared to the frequency of the input signal,
chopped signal is obtained as square wave of amplitude
proportional to V.
The chopped square wave is made to pass through
the A.C amplifier. The low cut-off frequency of A.C amplifier
is selected in such a way that it allows high frequency square
wave signal and alternates the low frequency signal. Thus
the output of the A.C amplifier is a modulated signal shown
in figure 2(c).
From the modulated signal, original signal can be
extracted by passing it through the capacitor and switch (S
2
).
Switch S
2
operates in synchronism with switch S
1
. Hence, in
the interval T
1
, negatives peaks of modulated signal
suppressed to 0 where as in the interval T
2
, positive peaks
suppressed to 0. To obtain the original signal, chopped signal
is made, pass through the low-pass filter. Thus, we get amplified
version of the input signal V, as shown in figure 2(d).

Figure
Tri-state circuit is used in data multiplexing when a single bus is shared among different data sources. Hence for
multiplexing a tri-state circuit, gate should provide very high impedance when disabled. This is achieved in TTL NAND gate
by turning off both TTL totem-pole output transists at the same time.
Consider the above figure, the extra emitter on Q
1
and a steering diode connected to the collector of Q
2
are used to
turn off the output transistors, when the enable input is asserted (which is active low). When enable is asserted it drives Q
2
and hence Q
3
to cut-off and forward biases the diode D
2
which in turn turns off Q
4
.
When enable input is not asserted, the circuit behaves as a normal NAND gate.
Hence, the above circuit behaves as a tri-state TTL NAND gate providing high impedance at the output.
