* There is no movement of charge
through a pn-junction at
equilibrium.
* The pn-junction form a diode
which allows current in only one
direction and prevent the
current in the other direction as
determined by the bias.

10.3 Zener-Diode Voltage-Regulator Circuits
10.3.1 The Zener Diode
* Zener diode is designed for operation in the reverse-breakdown
region.
* The breakdown voltage is controlled by the doping level (-1.8 V to
-200 V).
* The major application of Zener diode is to provide an output
reference that is stable despite changes in input voltage – power
supplies, voltmeter,…
21
10. Diodes – Zener-Diode Voltage-Regulator Circuits
10.3.2 Zener-Diode Voltage-Regulator Circuits
* Sometimes, a circuit that produces constant output voltage while
operating from a variable supply voltage is needed. Such circuits
are called voltage regulator.
* The Zener diode has a breakdown voltage equal to the desired
output voltage.
* The resistor limits the diode current to a safe value so that Zener
diode does not overheat.

10. Diodes – Ideal-Diode Model
10.4 Ideal-Diode Model
* Graphical load-line analysis is too cumbersome for complex circuits,
* We may apply “Ideal-Diode Model” to simplify the analysis:
(1) in forward direction: short-circuit assumption, zero voltage drop;
(2) in reverse direction: open-circuit assumption.
* The ideal-diode model can be used when the forward voltage drop and
reverse currents are negligible.
27
10. Diodes – Ideal-Diode Model
10.4 Ideal-Diode Model
* In analysis of a circuit containing diodes, we may not know in
advance which diodes are on and which are off.
* What we do is first to make a guess on the state of the diodes in
the circuit:

* Center-Tapped Full-Wave Rectifier – two half-wave rectifier with out-of-
phase source voltages and a common ground.
* When upper source supplies “+” voltage to diode A,
the lower source supplies “-” voltage to diode B;
and vice versa.
* We can also smooth the output by using a large capacitance.

10. Diodes – Linear Small-Signal Equivalent Circuits
10.8 Linear Small-Signal Equivalent Circuits
* In most of the electronic circuits, dc supply voltages are used to
bias a nonlinear device at an operating point and a small signal
is injected into the circuits.
* We often split the analysis of such circuit into two parts:
(1) Analyze the dc circuit to find operating point,
(2) Analyze the small signal ( by using the “linear small-
signal equivalent circuit”.)
40
10. Diodes – Linear Small-Signal Equivalent Circuits
10.8 Linear Small-Signal Equivalent
Circuits
* A diode in linear small-signal equivalent
circuit is simplified to a resistor.
* We first determine the operating point
(or the “quiescent point” or Q point) by
dc bias.
* When small ac signal injects, it swings
the Q point slightly up and down.
* If the signal is small enough, the
characteristic is straight.

* The function of this circuit is to produce an output signal that is a variable
fraction of the ac input signal.
* Two large coupling capacitors: behave like short circuit for ac signal and
open circuit for dc, thus the Q point of the diode is unaffected by the ac
input and the load.

AC Coupled Amplifiers
The gain drops to zero at dc (low frequency).

11. Amplifiers – Frequency Response
DC Coupled Amplifiers
Amplifiers that are realized as integrated circuits are often dc coupled,
because capacitors or transformers can not be fabricated in integrated
form.

11. Amplifiers – Frequency Response
High-Frequency Drop Off
* The small amount of capacitance in parallel or inductances in
series with the signal path in the amplifier circuit will cause the
gain of the amplifier to drop at high frequencies.

* Bandwidth is the distance
between the half-power
frequencies.
* Half-power frequencies:
* Wideband (Baseband) Amp.
* Narrowband (Bandpass) Amp.

11.8 Linear Waveform Distortion
* Distortion may occur even though the amplifier is linear (i.e., obeys
superposition principle).
Amplitude Distortion
If a signal contains components of various frequencies, the output
waveform may be distorted due to the frequency response of the
amplifier gain.

Phase Distortion
* If the phase shift of an amplifier is not
proportional to the frequency, phase
distortion may occur.

(1) the magnitude of the gain must be constant against frequency.
(2) The phase response must be proportional to the frequency.

Electrocardiogram
* The desired waveform is given by the difference between the
potentials measured by the two electrodes, i.e., the output of an
ideal differential amplifier.
* While both electrodes (also act like antennas) pick a common-
mode signal (noise) from the 60 Hz power line:

* Ideally, the common-mode signal was nullified by the differential amplifier.
* However, real differential amplifier responds to both differential-mode and
common-mode signals:
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR):
* At 60 Hz, CMRR of 120 dB is considered good.

Example 11.12 Determination of Minimum CMRR Specification
* Find the minimum CMRR for an electrocardiogram amplifier if the
differential gain is 1000, the desired differential input signal has a
peak amplitude of 1 mV, the common-mode signal is 100 V-peak
60 Hz sine wave, and it is desired that output contain a peak
common-mode signal that is 1% or less of the peak output caused
by the differential signal.
