Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a circuit with a diode and a resistor of 10kΩ, if the input voltage is increased from 5V to 6V, how would you analyze the corresponding change in current using the small signal equivalent circuit?
💡 Hint: Focus on calculating the small signal current based on voltage changes around the established DC level.
You are tasked with designing a circuit that needs to keep the output voltage stable while fluctuating between two DC levels. How would you apply your knowledge of diode models to ensure the desired output?
💡 Hint: Consider how changing diode states can affect output in changing input conditions.
