CHOICES
1. a. load resistance
2. c. tolerance, responsible for a measurement of current, voltage, and resistance to be accurate
3. C. current
4. Voltage drop of GaAs b.12V
5. Offset voltage of Ge diode a. 0.3V
6. A short circuit has a 0 V drop across its terminals, but the ______ is limited only by the surrounding
network. b. current
7. An open circuit can have any voltage across its terminals, but the__is always 0 b. current
8. A ____ is such that a output voltage level will be a 1, if either or both input is 1 --d. OR gates
9. Process of removing one half the input signal to establish a DC level c. Half Wave rectification
10. The ___ rating of diode is of primary importance in the design of rectification systems. -b.PIV
II. DEFINE THE FF.:
A. SEMICONDUCTOR
A semiconductor material has an electrical conductivity value falling between that of a conductor, such as
copper, and an insulator, such as glass.
B. DIFFUSION LAYER
is defined as the "region in the vicinity of an electrode where the concentrations are different from their value in
the bulk solution.
C. DOPING
Doping is the intentional introduction of impurities into an intrinsic semiconductor for the purpose of
modulating its electrical properties.
D. MAJORITY CARRIER
The more abundant charge carriers are called majority carriers, which are primarily responsible for current
transport in a piece of semiconductor.
E. DIELECTRIC MATERIAL
Very poor conductor of electric current.
F. KNEE VOLTAGE
The forward voltage at which the current through the PN junction starts increasing rapidly
G. FORWARD BIASED
When voltage is applied across a diode in such a way that the diode allows current
H. SPECIFICATION SHEET
Data sheet; document that summarizes the performance and other technical characteristics of a electronic
component

III. DRAW THE FOLLOWING:

A. REVERSED BIASED DIODE

B. SET UP TO PLOT A REVERSED DIODE

IV. DRAW AND ANALYZE THE INPUT VOLTAGE AND THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE WAVEFORM
A. HALF WAVE RECTIFIER
In half wave rectification, either the positive or negative half of the AC wave is passed, while the other half is
blocked. Because only one half of the input waveform reaches the output, it is only 50% efficient if used for
power transfer.

B. BRIDGE TYPE RECTIFIER

C. POSITIVE CLIPPER CIRCUIT
In a positive clipper, the positive half cycles of the input voltage will be removed.
