Diodes in Circuits - Load Lines In this circuit, how can we determine the current flowing through the diode and the resistor, and the voltages across these elements? …...…..... (1) ............... (2) A graphical method can be used to solve this problem. This involves constructing a load line which relates the current flowing through the series resistor to the voltage drop across it. By superimposing this load line on the diode characteristic it is possible to find the operating point of the circuit. This is simply given by the point of intersection of the load line with the diode characteristic. Plotting the load line involves determining the two fixed points where it crosses the X and Y axes. The first of these is obtained by setting ID = 0, and the second by setting VD = 0. When ID = 0, VD = VS When VD = 0, ID = VS/R Diode Clipping Circuits Diodes can be used in various circuit configurations to clip signal waveforms The important thing to remember is that in the forward direction the voltage across a (silicon) diode will always be limited to approximately 0.7V In the reverse direction the diode behaves like an open circuit Diode Clipping Quiz In the next slide you will see three different diode clipping circuits labelled 1, 2 and 3 The input signal in each case is a voltage sine wave with a peak amplitude of 5V (upper waveform) You must decide which of the output waveforms A, B or C belongs to each of the three circuits Diode Reverse Breakdown Half-Wave Rectifier Full-Wave Rectifier Full-Wave Rectification Full-Wave Bridge Rectifier Smoothing Smoothing and Ripple Diode Peak Current Reference Diodes Zener Diode Shunt Regulator D R VS IR = ID VD 0 2 4 6 8 10 0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 ID (mA) VD (Volts) LOAD LINE CONCEPT 1 2 3 A B C As the reverse bias voltage is increased, eventually a point is reached where the current begins to increase very rapidly.
