CHARACTERISTICS OF PN JUNCTION DIODE

AIM:

bias conditions.

THEORY:

A PN junction diode is a two terminal junction device. It conducts only in

one direction (only on forward biasing).

FORWARD BIAS:

On forward biasing, initially no current flows due to barrier potential. As the

applied potential exceeds the barrier potential the charge carriers gain sufficient

energy to cross the potential barrier and hence enter the other region. The holes,

which are majority carriers in the P-region, become minority carriers on entering

the N-regions, and electrons, which are the majority carriers in the N-region,

become minority carriers on entering the P-region. This injection of Minority

carriers results in the current flow, opposite to the direction of electron

movement.

REVERSE BIAS:

On reverse biasing, the majority charge carriers are attracted towards the

terminals due to the applied potential resulting in the widening of the depletion

region. Since the charge carriers are pushed towards the terminals no current

flows in the device due to majority charge carriers. There will be some current in

the device due to the thermally generated minority carriers. The generation of

such carriers is independent of the applied potential and hence the current is

constant for all increasing reverse potential. This current is referred to as

Reverse Saturation Current (IO) and it increases with temperature. When the

applied reverse voltage is increased beyond the certain limit, it results in

breakdown. During breakdown, the diode current increases tremendously.

PROCEDURE:

THEORY:

A properly doped crystal diode, which has a sharp breakdown voltage, is known

as zener diode.

FORWARD BIAS:

On forward biasing, initially no current flows due to barrier potential. As the

applied potential increases, it exceeds the barrier potential at one value and the

charge carriers gain sufficient energy to cross the potential barrier and enter the

other region. the holes ,which are majority carriers in p-region, become minority

carriers on entering the N-regions and electrons, which are the majority carriers

in the N-regions become minority carriers on entering the P-region. This injection

of minority carriers results current, opposite to the direction of electron

movement.

When the reverse bias is applied due to majority carriers small amount of

current (ie) reverse saturation current flows across the junction. As the reverse

bias is increased to breakdown voltage, sudden rise in current takes place due to

zener effect.

ZENER EFFECT:

Normally, PN junction of Zener Diode is heavily doped. Due to heavy

doping the depletion layer will be narrow. When the reverse bias is increased the

potential across the depletion layer is more. This exerts a force on the electrons

in the outermost shell. Because of this force the electrons are pulled away from

the parent nuclei and become free electrons. This ionization, which occurs due to

electrostatic force of attraction, is known as Zener effect. It results in large

number of free carriers, which in turn increases the reverse saturation current

PROCEDURE:

THEORY:

A BJT is a three terminal two – junction semiconductor device in which the

conduction is due to both the charge carrier. Hence it is a bipolar device and it

amplifier the sine waveform as they are transferred from input to output. BJT is

classified into two types – NPN or PNP. A NPN transistor consists of two N

types in between which a layer of P is sandwiched. The transistor consists of

three terminal emitter, collector and base. The emitter layer is the source of the

charge carriers and it is heartily doped with a moderate cross sectional area.

The collector collects the charge carries and hence moderate doping and large

cross sectional area. The base region acts a path for the movement of the

charge carriers. In order to reduce the recombination of holes and electrons the

base region is lightly doped and is of hollow cross sectional area. Normally the

transistor operates with the EB junction forward biased.

THEORY:

In this configuration the base is made common to both the input and out.

The emitter is given the input and the output is taken across the collector. The

current gain of this configuration is less than unity. The voltage gain of CB

configuration is high. Due to the high voltage gain, the power gain is also high. In

CB configuration, Base is common to both input and output. In CB configuration

the input characteristics relate IE and VEB for a constant VCB. Initially let VCB = 0

then the input junction is equivalent to a forward biased diode and the

characteristics resembles that of a diode. Where VCB = +VI (volts) due to early

effect IE increases and so the characteristics shifts to the left. The output

characteristics relate IC and VCB for a constant IE. Initially IC increases and then it

levels for a value IC = IE. When IE is increased IC also increases proportionality.

Though increase in VCB causes an increase in , since is a fraction, it is

negligible and so IC remains a constant for all values of VCB once it levels off.

THEORY:

FET is a voltage operated device. It has got 3 terminals. They are Source,

Drain & Gate. When the gate is biased negative with respect to the source, the

pn junctions are reverse biased & depletion regions are formed. The channel is

more lightly doped than the p type gate, so the depletion regions penetrate

deeply in to the channel. The result is that the channel is narrowed, its resistance

is increased, & ID is reduced. When the negative bias voltage is further

increased, the depletion regions meet at the center & ID is cutoff completely.

THEORY:

UJT(Double base diode) consists of a bar of lightly doped n-type silicon

with a small piece of heavily doped P type material joined to one side. It has got

three terminals. They are Emitter(E), Base1(B1),Base2(B2).Since the silicon bar

is lightly doped, it has a high resistance & can be represented as two resistors,

rB1 & rB2. When VB1B2 = 0, a small increase in VE forward biases the emitter

junction. The resultant plot of VE & I E is simply the characteristics of forward

biased diode with resistance. Increasing VEB1 reduces the emitter junction

reverse bias. When VEB1 = VrB1 there is no forward or reverse bias. & IE = 0.

Increasing VEB1 beyond this point begins to forward bias the emitter junction. At

the peak point, a small forward emitter current is flowing. This current is termed

as peak current( IP ). Until this point UJT is said to be operating in cutoff region.

When IE increases beyond peak current the device enters the negative

resistance region. In which the resistance rB1 falls rapidly & VE falls to the valley

enter the saturation region.

THEORY:

PHOTODIODE:

A photo diode is a two terminal pn junction device, which operates on

reverse bias. On reverse biasing a pn junction diode, there results a constant

current due to minority charge carriers known as reverse saturation current.

Increasing the thermally generated minority carriers by applying external energy,

i.e., either heat or light energy at the junction can increase this current. When we

apply light energy as an external source, it results in a photo diode that is usually

placed in a glass package so that light can reach the junction. Initially when no

light is incident, the current is only the reverse saturation current that flows

through the reverse biased diode. This current is termed as the dark current of

the photo diode. Now when light is incident on the photo diode then the thermally

generated carriers increase resulting in an increased reverse current which is

proportional to the intensity of incident light. A photo diode can turn on and off at

a faster rate and so it is used as a fast acting switch.

PHOTOTRANSISTOR:

It is a transistor with an open base; there exists a small collector current

consisting of thermally produced minority carriers and surface leakage. By

exposing the collector junction to light, a manufacturer can produce a

phototransistor, a transistor that has more sensitivity to light than a photo diode.

Because the base lead is open, all the reverse current is forced into the base of

the transistor. The resulting collector current is ICeo = dcIr. The main difference

between a phototransistor and a photodiode is the current gain, dc. The same

amount of light striking both devices produces dc times more current in a

phototransistor than in a photodiode.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THERMISTOR

AIM:

To study the characteristics of Thermistor.

THEORY:

Thermistor or Thermal resistor is two – terminal semiconductor device

whose resistance is temperature sensitive. The value of such resistors decreases

with increase in temperature. Materials employed in the manufacture of the

thermistors include oxides of cobalt, nickel, copper, iron uranium and

manganese.

The thermistors has very high temperature coefficient of resistance, of the

order of 3 to 5% per C, making it an ideal temperature transducer. The

temperature coefficient of resistance is normally negative. The reistance at any

temperature T, is given approximately by

RT = Ro exp β (1/T – 1/To)

Where RT = thermistor resistance at temperature T (K), RO = thersmistor

resistance at temperature To (K), and = a constant determined by calibration.

At high temperatures, this equation reduces to

RT = Ro exp ( β/T)

The resistance – temperature characteristics is shown in Fig 21.10. The

curve is non – linear and the drop in resistance from 5000 to 10 occurs for an

increase in temperature from 20 to 100 C. The temperature of the device can

be changed internally or externally. An increase in current through the device will

raise its temperature carrying a drop in its terminal resistance. Any externally

37

heat source will result in an increase in its body temperature and drop in

resistance this type action (internal or external) lends itself well to control

mechanism.

Three useful parameters for characterizing the thermistor are the time

constant, dissipation constant , and resistance ratio. The time constant is the

time for a thermistor to change its resistance by 63% of its initial value, for zero –

power dissipation. Typical values of time constant range from 1 to 50 s.

SYMBOL:

MODEL GRAPH:

The dissipation factor is the power necessary to increase the temperature

of a thermistor by 1˚C. Typical values of dissipation factor range from 1 to 10

mW/˚C.

Resistance ratio is the ratio of the resistance at 25 ˚C. Its range is

THEORY:

The Differential amplifier circuit is an extremely popular connection used in

IC units. The circuit has separate inputs , two separate outputs and emitters are

connected together. If the same input is applied to both inputs, the operation is

called common mode. In double ended operation two input signals are applied ,

the difference of the inputs resulting in outputs from both collectors due to the

difference of the signals applied to both the inputs. The main feature of the

differential amplifier is the very large gain when opposite signals are applied to

inputs as compared to small signal resulting from common input. The ratio of this

difference gain to the common gain is called common mode rejection ratio.

Theory:

A filter is an AC circuit that separates some frequencies from other in

within mixed – frequency signals. Audio equalizers and crossover networks are

two well-known applications of filter circuits. A Bode plot is a graph plotting

waveform amplitude or phase on one axis and frequency on the other.

A low-pass filter allows for easy passage of low-frequency signals from

source to load, and difficult passage of high-frequency signals. Capacitor low-pass

filters insert a resistor in series and a capacitor in parallel with the load as shown

in the circuit diagram. The former filter design tries to “block” the unwanted

frequency signal while the latter tries to short it out.

The cutoff frequency for a low-pass filter is that frequency at which the

output (load) voltage equals 70.7% of the input (Source) voltage. Above the cutoff

frequency, the output voltage is lower than 70.7% of the input, and vice-versa. See

the circuit diagram

A high-pass filter allows for easy passage of high-frequency signals from source to

load, and difficult passage of low-frequency signals. Capacitor high-pass filters

insert a capacitor in series with the load as shown in the circuit diagram. The

The cutoff frequency for a high-pass filter is that frequency at which the

A band – pass filter works to screen out frequencies that are too low or too

high, giving easy passage only to frequencies within a certain range. Stacking a

low-pass filter on the end of a high-pass filter, or vice-versa can make band-pass

filters. Refer the circuit diagrams

Fig. 7.6

“Attenuate” means to reduce or diminish in amplitude. When you

turn down the volume control on your stereo, you are “attenuating” the signal

being sent to the speakers.

A band-stop filter works to screen out frequencies that are within a certain

range, giving easy passage only to frequencies outside of that range. Also known

as band-elimination, band-reject, or notch filters.

2. Capacitance Box 1

3. Inductance Box 1

4. Function Generator 1

5. Bread board 1

Theory:

The cathode ray oscilloscope is the most versatile measuring instrument

available. We can measure following parameters using the CRO:

1. AC or DC voltage.

2. Time (t=1/f).

3. Phase relationship

4. Waveform calculation: Rise time; fall time; on time; off-time

Distortion, etc.

We can also measure non-electrical physical quantities like pressure, strain,

temperature, acceleration, etc., by converting into electrical quantities using

a transducer.

Major blocks:

1. Cathode ray tube (CRT)

2. Vertical amplifier

3. Horizontal amplifier

4. Sweep generator

5. Trigger circuit

6. Associated power supply.

1. The cathode ray tube is the heart of CRO. The CRT is enclosed in an

evacuated glass envelope to permit the electron beam to traverse in the

tube easily. The main functional units of CRO are as follows.

Electron gun assembly

Deflection plate unit

Screen.

2. Vertical Amplifier is the main factor in determining the bandwidth and

sensitivity of an oscilloscope. Vertical sensitivity is a measure of how

much the electron beam will be deflected for a specified input signal.

On the front panel of the oscilloscope, one can see a knob attached to a

rotary switch labeled volts/division. The rotary switch is electrically

connected to the input attenuation network. The setting of the rotary

switch indicates what amplitude signal is required to deflect the beam

vertically by one division.

3. Horizontal amplifier Under normal mode of operation, the horizontal

amplifier will amplify the sweep generator input. When the CRO is

being used in the X-Y mode, the horizontal amplifier will amplify the

signal applied to the horizontal input terminal. Although the vertical

amplifier mush be able to faithfully reproduce low-amplitude and high

frequency signal with fast rise-time, the horizontal amplifier is only

required to provide a faithful reproduction of the sweep signal which

has a relatively high amplitude and slow rise time.

4. Sweep generator and Trigger circuit These two units form the Signal

Synchronization unit of the CRO.

5. Associated Power Supply: The input signal may come from an

external source when the trigger selector switch is set to EXT or from

Page 53: Electron Devices and Circuits Lab

131351 - Electronic devices and circuits lab

53

low amplitude AC voltage at line frequency when the switch is set to

LINE or from the vertical amplifier when the switch is set to INT. When

set for INT (internal triggering), the trigger circuit receives its inputs

from the vertical amplifier.

Major Blocks in a Practical CRO

A CRO consists of a cathode ray tube (CRT) and additional control knobs.

The main parts of a CRT are:

1. Electron gun assembly.

2. Deflection plate assembly.

3. Fluorescent screen.

Electron Gun Assembly: The electron gun assembly produces a sharp beam of

electrons, which are accelerated to high velocity. This focused beam of electrons

strike the fluorescent screen with sufficient energy to cause a luminous spot on the

screen.

Deflection plate assembly: This part consists of two plates in which one pair of

plates is placed horizontally and other of plates is placed vertically. The signal

under test is applied to vertical deflecting plates. The horizontal deflection plates

are connected to a built-in ramp generator, which moves the luminous spot

periodically in a horizontal direction from left to right over the screen. These two

deflection plates give stationary appearance to the waveform on the screen. CRO

operates on voltage. Since the deflection of the electron beam is directly

Page 54: Electron Devices and Circuits Lab

131351 - Electronic devices and circuits lab

Department of electrical and electronics engineering

54

proportional to the deflecting voltage, the CRT may be used as a linear measuring

device. The voltage being measured is applied to the vertical plates through an

iterative network, whose propagation time corresponds to the velocity of electrons,

thereby synchronizing the voltage applied to the vertical plate with the velocity of

the beam.

Synchronization of input signal: The sweep generator produces a saw tooth

waveform, which is used to synchronize the applied voltage to obtain a stationary-

applied signal. This requires that the time base be operated at a submultiples

frequency of the signal under measurement. If synchronization is not done, the

pattern is not stationary, but appears to drift across the screen in a random fashion.

Internal synchronization This trigger is obtained from the time base generator to

synchronize the signal.

External synchronization An external trigger source can also be used to

synchronize the signal being measured.

Auto Triggering Mode The time base used in this case in a self-oscillating

condition, i.e., it gives an output even in the absence of any Y-input. The

advantage of this mode is that the beam is visible on the screen under all

conditions, including the zero input. When the input exceeds a certain magnitude

then the internal free running oscillator locks on to the frequency.

Precautions:

1. The ammeter is connected using thick wires.

2. While reversing ammeter polarity, see to it that the capacitor is not

discharged.

CHARACTERISTICS OF PN JUNCTION DIODE

bias conditions.

THEORY:

A PN junction diode is a two terminal junction device. It conducts only in

one direction (only on forward biasing).

FORWARD BIAS:

On forward biasing, initially no current flows due to barrier potential. As the

applied potential exceeds the barrier potential the charge carriers gain sufficient

energy to cross the potential barrier and hence enter the other region. The holes,

which are majority carriers in the P-region, become minority carriers on entering

the N-regions, and electrons, which are the majority carriers in the N-region,

58

become minority carriers on entering the P-region. This injection of Minority

carriers results in the current flow, opposite to the direction of electron

movement.

131351 - Electronic devices and circuits lab

Department of electrical and electronics engineering

REVERSE BIAS:

On reverse biasing, the majority charge carriers are attracted towards the

terminals due to the applied potential resulting in the widening of the depletion

region. Since the charge carriers are pushed towards the terminals no current

flows in the device due to majority charge carriers. There will be some current in

the device due to the thermally generated minority carriers. The generation of

such carriers is independent of the applied potential and hence the current is

constant for all increasing reverse potential. This current is referred to as

Reverse Saturation Current (IO) and it increases with temperature. When the

applied reverse voltage is increased beyond the certain limit, it results in

breakdown. During breakdown, the diode current increases tremendously.

THEORY:

A properly doped crystal diode, which has a sharp breakdown voltage, is known

as zener diode.

FORWARD BIAS:

On forward biasing, initially no current flows due to barrier potential. As the

applied potential increases, it exceeds the barrier potential at one value and the

charge carriers gain sufficient energy to cross the potential barrier and enter the

other region. the holes ,which are majority carriers in p-region, become minority

carriers on entering the N-regions and electrons, which are the majority carriers

in the N-regions become minority carriers on entering the P-region. This injection

of minority carriers results current, opposite to the direction of electron

movement.

When the reverse bias is applied due to majority carriers small amount of

current (ie) reverse saturation current flows across the junction. As the reverse

bias is increased to breakdown voltage, sudden rise in current takes place due to

zener effect.

ZENER EFFECT:

Normally, PN junction of Zener Diode is heavily doped. Due to heavy

doping the depletion layer will be narrow. When the reverse bias is increased the

potential across the depletion layer is more. This exerts a force on the electrons

in the outermost shell. Because of this force the electrons are pulled away from

the parent nuclei and become free electrons. This ionization, which occurs due to

electrostatic force of attraction, is known as Zener effect. It results in large

number of free carriers, which in turn increases the reverse saturation current

PROCEDURE:

THEORY:

A BJT is a three terminal two – junction semiconductor device in which the

conduction is due to both the charge carrier. Hence it is a bipolar device and it

amplifier the sine waveform as they are transferred from input to output. BJT is

classified into two types – NPN or PNP. A NPN transistor consists of two N

types in between which a layer of P is sandwiched. The transistor consists of

three terminal emitter, collector and base. The emitter layer is the source of the

charge carriers and it is heartily doped with a moderate cross sectional area.

The collector collects the charge carries and hence moderate doping and large

cross sectional area. The base region acts a path for the movement of the

charge carriers. In order to reduce the recombination of holes and electrons the

base region is lightly doped and is of hollow cross sectional area. Normally the

transistor operates with the EB junction forward biased.

THEORY:

In this configuration the base is made common to both the input and out.

The emitter is given the input and the output is taken across the collector. The

current gain of this configuration is less than unity. The voltage gain of CB

configuration is high. Due to the high voltage gain, the power gain is also high. In

CB configuration, Base is common to both input and output. In CB configuration

the input characteristics relate IE and VEB for a constant VCB. Initially let VCB = 0

then the input junction is equivalent to a forward biased diode and the

characteristics resembles that of a diode. Where VCB = +VI (volts) due to early

effect IE increases and so the characteristics shifts to the left. The output

characteristics relate IC and VCB for a constant IE. Initially IC increases and then it

levels for a value IC = IE. When IE is increased IC also increases proportionality.

Though increase in VCB causes an increase in , since is a fraction, it is

negligible and so IC remains a constant for all values of VCB once it levels off.

FET is a voltage operated device. It has got 3 terminals. They are Source,

Drain & Gate. When the gate is biased negative with respect to the source, the

pn junctions are reverse biased & depletion regions are formed. The channel is

more lightly doped than the p type gate, so the depletion regions penetrate

deeply in to the channel. The result is that the channel is narrowed, its resistance

is increased, & ID is reduced. When the negative bias voltage is further

increased, the depletion regions meet at the center & ID is cutoff completely.

THEORY:

UJT(Double base diode) consists of a bar of lightly doped n-type silicon

with a small piece of heavily doped P type material joined to one side. It has got

three terminals. They are Emitter(E), Base1(B1),Base2(B2).Since the silicon bar

is lightly doped, it has a high resistance & can be represented as two resistors,

rB1 & rB2. When VB1B2 = 0, a small increase in VE forward biases the emitter

junction. The resultant plot of VE & I E is simply the characteristics of forward

biased diode with resistance. Increasing VEB1 reduces the emitter junction

reverse bias. When VEB1 = VrB1 there is no forward or reverse bias. & IE = 0.

Increasing VEB1 beyond this point begins to forward bias the emitter junction. At

the peak point, a small forward emitter current is flowing. This current is termed

as peak current( IP ). Until this point UJT is said to be operating in cutoff region.

When IE increases beyond peak current the device enters the negative

resistance region. In which the resistance rB1 falls rapidly & VE falls to the valley

THEORY:

PHOTODIODE:

A photo diode is a two terminal pn junction device, which operates on

reverse bias. On reverse biasing a pn junction diode, there results a constant

current due to minority charge carriers known as reverse saturation current.

Increasing the thermally generated minority carriers by applying external energy,

i.e., either heat or light energy at the junction can increase this current. When we

apply light energy as an external source, it results in a photo diode that is usually

placed in a glass package so that light can reach the junction. Initially when no

light is incident, the current is only the reverse saturation current that flows

through the reverse biased diode. This current is termed as the dark current of

the photo diode. Now when light is incident on the photo diode then the thermally

generated carriers increase resulting in an increased reverse current which is

proportional to the intensity of incident light. A photo diode can turn on and off at

a faster rate and so it is used as a fast acting switch.

PHOTOTRANSISTOR:

It is a transistor with an open base; there exists a small collector current

consisting of thermally produced minority carriers and surface leakage. By

exposing the collector junction to light, a manufacturer can produce a

phototransistor, a transistor that has more sensitivity to light than a photo diode.

Because the base lead is open, all the reverse current is forced into the base of

the transistor. The resulting collector current is ICeo = dcIr. The main difference

between a phototransistor and a photodiode is the current gain, dc. The same

amount of light striking both devices produces dc times more current in a

phototransistor than in a photodiode.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THERMISTOR

AIM:

To study the characteristics of Thermistor.

THEORY:

Thermistor or Thermal resistor is two – terminal semiconductor device

whose resistance is temperature sensitive. The value of such resistors decreases

with increase in temperature. Materials employed in the manufacture of the

thermistors include oxides of cobalt, nickel, copper, iron uranium and

manganese.

The thermistors has very high temperature coefficient of resistance, of the

order of 3 to 5% per C, making it an ideal temperature transducer. The

temperature coefficient of resistance is normally negative. The reistance at any

temperature T, is given approximately by

RT = Ro exp β (1/T – 1/To)

Where RT = thermistor resistance at temperature T (K), RO = thersmistor

resistance at temperature To (K), and = a constant determined by calibration.

At high temperatures, this equation reduces to

RT = Ro exp ( β/T)

The resistance – temperature characteristics is shown in Fig 21.10. The

curve is non – linear and the drop in resistance from 5000 to 10 occurs for an

increase in temperature from 20 to 100 C. The temperature of the device can

be changed internally or externally. An increase in current through the device will

raise its temperature carrying a drop in its terminal resistance. Any externally

Department of electrical and electronics engineering

92

heat source will result in an increase in its body temperature and drop in

resistance this type action (internal or external) lends itself well to control

mechanism.

Three useful parameters for characterizing the thermistor are the time

constant, dissipation constant , and resistance ratio. The time constant is the

time for a thermistor to change its resistance by 63% of its initial value, for zero –

power dissipation. Typical values of time constant range from 1 to 50 s.

SYMBOL:

MODEL GRAPH:

The dissipation factor is the power necessary to increase the temperature

of a thermistor by 1˚C. Typical values of dissipation factor range from 1 to 10

mW/˚C.

Resistance ratio is the ratio of the resistance at 25 ˚C. Its range is

THEORY:

The Differential amplifier circuit is an extremely popular connection used in

IC units. The circuit has separate inputs , two separate outputs and emitters are

connected together. If the same input is applied to both inputs, the operation is

called common mode. In double ended operation two input signals are applied ,

the difference of the inputs resulting in outputs from both collectors due to the

difference of the signals applied to both the inputs. The main feature of the

differential amplifier is the very large gain when opposite signals are applied to

inputs as compared to small signal resulting from common input. The ratio of this

difference gain to the common gain is called common mode rejection ratio.

Theory:

A filter is an AC circuit that separates some frequencies from other in

within mixed – frequency signals. Audio equalizers and crossover networks are

two well-known applications of filter circuits. A Bode plot is a graph plotting

waveform amplitude or phase on one axis and frequency on the other.

A low-pass filter allows for easy passage of low-frequency signals from

source to load, and difficult passage of high-frequency signals. Capacitor low-pass

filters insert a resistor in series and a capacitor in parallel with the load as shown

in the circuit diagram. The former filter design tries to “block” the unwanted

frequency signal while the latter tries to short it out.

The cutoff frequency for a low-pass filter is that frequency at which the

output (load) voltage equals 70.7% of the input (Source) voltage. Above the cutoff

frequency, the output voltage is lower than 70.7% of the input, and vice-versa. See

the circuit diagram

A high-pass filter allows for easy passage of high-frequency signals from source to

insert a capacitor in series with the load as shown in the circuit diagram. The

A band – pass filter works to screen out frequencies that are too low or too

high, giving easy passage only to frequencies within a certain range. Stacking a

low-pass filter on the end of a high-pass filter, or vice-versa can make band-pass

filters. Refer the circuit diagrams

Fig. 7.6

“Attenuate” means to reduce or diminish in amplitude. When you

turn down the volume control on your stereo, you are “attenuating” the signal

being sent to the speakers.

A band-stop filter works to screen out frequencies that are within a certain

range, giving easy passage only to frequencies outside of that range. Also known

as band-elimination, band-reject, or notch filters.

Theory:

The cathode ray oscilloscope is the most versatile measuring instrument

available. We can measure following parameters using the CRO:

5. AC or DC voltage.

6. Time (t=1/f).

7. Phase relationship

8. Waveform calculation: Rise time; fall time; on time; off-time

Distortion, etc.

We can also measure non-electrical physical quantities like pressure, strain,

temperature, acceleration, etc., by converting into electrical quantities using

a transducer.

11. Trigger circuit

12. Associated power supply.

6. The cathode ray tube is the heart of CRO. The CRT is enclosed in an

evacuated glass envelope to permit the electron beam to traverse in the

tube easily. The main functional units of CRO are as follows.

Electron gun assembly

Deflection plate unit

Screen.

7. Vertical Amplifier is the main factor in determining the bandwidth and

sensitivity of an oscilloscope. Vertical sensitivity is a measure of how

much the electron beam will be deflected for a specified input signal.

On the front panel of the oscilloscope, one can see a knob attached to a

rotary switch labeled volts/division. The rotary switch is electrically

connected to the input attenuation network. The setting of the rotary

switch indicates what amplitude signal is required to deflect the beam

vertically by one division.

8. Horizontal amplifier Under normal mode of operation, the horizontal

amplifier will amplify the sweep generator input. When the CRO is

being used in the X-Y mode, the horizontal amplifier will amplify the

signal applied to the horizontal input terminal. Although the vertical

amplifier mush be able to faithfully reproduce low-amplitude and high

frequency signal with fast rise-time, the horizontal amplifier is only

required to provide a faithful reproduction of the sweep signal which

has a relatively high amplitude and slow rise time.

9. Sweep generator and Trigger circuit These two units form the Signal

Synchronization unit of the CRO.

10. Associated Power Supply: The input signal may come from an

external source when the trigger selector switch is set to EXT or from

Page 108: Electron Devices and Circuits Lab

131351 - Electronic devices and circuits lab

Department of electrical and electronics engineering

108

low amplitude AC voltage at line frequency when the switch is set to

LINE or from the vertical amplifier when the switch is set to INT. When

set for INT (internal triggering), the trigger circuit receives its inputs

from the vertical amplifier.

Major Blocks in a Practical CRO

A CRO consists of a cathode ray tube (CRT) and additional control knobs.

The main parts of a CRT are:

4. Electron gun assembly.

5. Deflection plate assembly.

6. Fluorescent screen.

Electron Gun Assembly: The electron gun assembly produces a sharp beam of

electrons, which are accelerated to high velocity. This focused beam of electrons

strike the fluorescent screen with sufficient energy to cause a luminous spot on the

screen.

Deflection plate assembly: This part consists of two plates in which one pair of

plates is placed horizontally and other of plates is placed vertically. The signal

under test is applied to vertical deflecting plates. The horizontal deflection plates

are connected to a built-in ramp generator, which moves the luminous spot

periodically in a horizontal direction from left to right over the screen. These two

deflection plates give stationary appearance to the waveform on the screen. CRO

operates on voltage. Since the deflection of the electron beam is directly

Page 109: Electron Devices and Circuits Lab

131351 - Electronic devices and circuits lab

Department of electrical and electronics engineering

109

proportional to the deflecting voltage, the CRT may be used as a linear measuring

device. The voltage being measured is applied to the vertical plates through an

iterative network, whose propagation time corresponds to the velocity of electrons,

thereby synchronizing the voltage applied to the vertical plate with the velocity of

the beam.

Synchronization of input signal: The sweep generator produces a saw tooth

waveform, which is used to synchronize the applied voltage to obtain a stationary-

applied signal. This requires that the time base be operated at a submultiples

frequency of the signal under measurement. If synchronization is not done, the

pattern is not stationary, but appears to drift across the screen in a random fashion.

Internal synchronization This trigger is obtained from the time base generator to

synchronize the signal.

External synchronization An external trigger source can also be used to

synchronize the signal being measured.

Auto Triggering Mode The time base used in this case in a self-oscillating

condition, i.e., it gives an output even in the absence of any Y-input. The

advantage of this mode is that the beam is visible on the screen under all

conditions, including the zero input. When the input exceeds a certain magnitude

then the internal free running oscillator locks on to the frequency.

Precautions:

3. The ammeter is connected using thick wires.

4. While reversing ammeter polarity, see to it that the capacitor is not

discharged.

THEORY:

A PN junction diode is a two terminal junction device. It conducts only in

one direction (only on forward biasing).

FORWARD BIAS:

On forward biasing, initially no current flows due to barrier potential. As the

applied potential exceeds the barrier potential the charge carriers gain sufficient

the N-regions, and electrons, which are the majority carriers in the N-region,

become minority carriers on entering the P-region. This injection of Minority

carriers results in the current flow, opposite to the direction of electron

movement.

REVERSE BIAS:

On reverse biasing, the majority charge carriers are attracted towards the

terminals due to the applied potential resulting in the widening of the depletion

region. Since the charge carriers are pushed towards the terminals no current

flows in the device due to majority charge carriers. There will be some current in

the device due to the thermally generated minority carriers. The generation of

such carriers is independent of the applied potential and hence the current is

constant for all increasing reverse potential. This current is referred to as

Reverse Saturation Current (IO) and it increases with temperature. When the

applied reverse voltage is increased beyond the certain limit, it results in

breakdown. During breakdown, the diode current increases tremendously.

THEORY:

A properly doped crystal diode, which has a sharp breakdown voltage, is known

as zener diode.

FORWARD BIAS:

On forward biasing, initially no current flows due to barrier potential. As the

applied potential increases, it exceeds the barrier potential at one value and the

charge carriers gain sufficient energy to cross the potential barrier and enter the

other region. the holes ,which are majority carriers in p-region, become minority

carriers on entering the N-regions and electrons, which are the majority carriers

in the N-regions become minority carriers on entering the P-region. This injection

of minority carriers results current, opposite to the direction of electron

movement.

118

When the reverse bias is applied due to majority carriers small amount of

current (ie) reverse saturation current flows across the junction. As the reverse

bias is increased to breakdown voltage, sudden rise in current takes place due to

zener effect.

ZENER EFFECT:

Normally, PN junction of Zener Diode is heavily doped. Due to heavy

doping the depletion layer will be narrow. When the reverse bias is increased the

potential across the depletion layer is more. This exerts a force on the electrons

in the outermost shell. Because of this force the electrons are pulled away from

the parent nuclei and become free electrons. This ionization, which occurs due to

electrostatic force of attraction, is known as Zener effect. It results in large

number of free carriers, which in turn increases the reverse saturation current

THEORY:

A BJT is a three terminal two – junction semiconductor device in which the

conduction is due to both the charge carrier. Hence it is a bipolar device and it

amplifier the sine waveform as they are transferred from input to output. BJT is

classified into two types – NPN or PNP. A NPN transistor consists of two N

types in between which a layer of P is sandwiched. The transistor consists of

three terminal emitter, collector and base. The emitter layer is the source of the

charge carriers and it is heartily doped with a moderate cross sectional area.

The collector collects the charge carries and hence moderate doping and large

cross sectional area. The base region acts a path for the movement of the

charge carriers. In order to reduce the recombination of holes and electrons the

base region is lightly doped and is of hollow cross sectional area. Normally the

transistor operates with the EB junction forward biased.

THEORY:

In this configuration the base is made common to both the input and out.

The emitter is given the input and the output is taken across the collector. The

current gain of this configuration is less than unity. The voltage gain of CB

configuration is high. Due to the high voltage gain, the power gain is also high. In

CB configuration, Base is common to both input and output. In CB configuration

the input characteristics relate IE and VEB for a constant VCB. Initially let VCB = 0

then the input junction is equivalent to a forward biased diode and the

characteristics resembles that of a diode. Where VCB = +VI (volts) due to early

effect IE increases and so the characteristics shifts to the left. The output

characteristics relate IC and VCB for a constant IE. Initially IC increases and then it

levels for a value IC = IE. When IE is increased IC also increases proportionality.

Though increase in VCB causes an increase in , since is a fraction, it is

negligible and so IC remains a constant for all values of VCB once it levels off.

FET is a voltage operated device. It has got 3 terminals. They are Source,

Drain & Gate. When the gate is biased negative with respect to the source, the

pn junctions are reverse biased & depletion regions are formed. The channel is

more lightly doped than the p type gate, so the depletion regions penetrate

deeply in to the channel. The result is that the channel is narrowed, its resistance

is increased, & ID is reduced. When the negative bias voltage is further

increased, the depletion regions meet at the center & ID is cutoff completely.

THEORY:

UJT(Double base diode) consists of a bar of lightly doped n-type silicon

with a small piece of heavily doped P type material joined to one side. It has got

three terminals. They are Emitter(E), Base1(B1),Base2(B2).Since the silicon bar

is lightly doped, it has a high resistance & can be represented as two resistors,

rB1 & rB2. When VB1B2 = 0, a small increase in VE forward biases the emitter

junction. The resultant plot of VE & I E is simply the characteristics of forward

biased diode with resistance. Increasing VEB1 reduces the emitter junction

reverse bias. When VEB1 = VrB1 there is no forward or reverse bias. & IE = 0.

Increasing VEB1 beyond this point begins to forward bias the emitter junction. At

the peak point, a small forward emitter current is flowing. This current is termed

as peak current( IP ). Until this point UJT is said to be operating in cutoff region.

When IE increases beyond peak current the device enters the negative

resistance region. In which the resistance rB1 falls rapidly & VE falls to the valley

THEORY:

PHOTODIODE:

A photo diode is a two terminal pn junction device, which operates on

reverse bias. On reverse biasing a pn junction diode, there results a constant

current due to minority charge carriers known as reverse saturation current.

Increasing the thermally generated minority carriers by applying external energy,

i.e., either heat or light energy at the junction can increase this current. When we

apply light energy as an external source, it results in a photo diode that is usually

placed in a glass package so that light can reach the junction. Initially when no

light is incident, the current is only the reverse saturation current that flows

through the reverse biased diode. This current is termed as the dark current of

the photo diode. Now when light is incident on the photo diode then the thermally

generated carriers increase resulting in an increased reverse current which is

proportional to the intensity of incident light. A photo diode can turn on and off at

a faster rate and so it is used as a fast acting switch.

PHOTOTRANSISTOR:

It is a transistor with an open base; there exists a small collector current

consisting of thermally produced minority carriers and surface leakage. By

exposing the collector junction to light, a manufacturer can produce a

phototransistor, a transistor that has more sensitivity to light than a photo diode.

Because the base lead is open, all the reverse current is forced into the base of

the transistor. The resulting collector current is ICeo = dcIr. The main difference

between a phototransistor and a photodiode is the current gain, dc. The same

amount of light striking both devices produces dc times more current in a

phototransistor than in a photodiode.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THERMISTOR

AIM:

To study the characteristics of Thermistor.

THEORY:

Thermistor or Thermal resistor is two – terminal semiconductor device

whose resistance is temperature sensitive. The value of such resistors decreases

with increase in temperature. Materials employed in the manufacture of the

thermistors include oxides of cobalt, nickel, copper, iron uranium and

manganese.

The thermistors has very high temperature coefficient of resistance, of the

order of 3 to 5% per C, making it an ideal temperature transducer. The

temperature coefficient of resistance is normally negative. The reistance at any

temperature T, is given approximately by

RT = Ro exp β (1/T – 1/To)

Where RT = thermistor resistance at temperature T (K), RO = thersmistor

resistance at temperature To (K), and = a constant determined by calibration.

At high temperatures, this equation reduces to

RT = Ro exp ( β/T)

The resistance – temperature characteristics is shown in Fig 21.10. The

curve is non – linear and the drop in resistance from 5000 to 10 occurs for an

increase in temperature from 20 to 100 C. The temperature of the device can

be changed internally or externally. An increase in current through the device will

raise its temperature carrying a drop in its terminal resistance. Any externally

Page 146: Electron Devices and Circuits Lab

131351 - Electronic devices and circuits lab

Department of electrical and electronics engineering

146

heat source will result in an increase in its body temperature and drop in

resistance this type action (internal or external) lends itself well to control

mechanism.

Three useful parameters for characterizing the thermistor are the time

constant, dissipation constant , and resistance ratio. The time constant is the

time for a thermistor to change its resistance by 63% of its initial value, for zero –

power dissipation. Typical values of time constant range from 1 to 50 s.

SYMBOL:

MODEL GRAPH:

The dissipation factor is the power necessary to increase the temperature

of a thermistor by 1˚C. Typical values of dissipation factor range from 1 to 10

mW/˚C.

Resistance ratio is the ratio of the resistance at 25 ˚C. Its range is

THEORY:

The Differential amplifier circuit is an extremely popular connection used in

IC units. The circuit has separate inputs , two separate outputs and emitters are

connected together. If the same input is applied to both inputs, the operation is

called common mode. In double ended operation two input signals are applied ,

the difference of the inputs resulting in outputs from both collectors due to the

difference of the signals applied to both the inputs. The main feature of the

differential amplifier is the very large gain when opposite signals are applied to

inputs as compared to small signal resulting from common input. The ratio of this

difference gain to the common gain is called common mode rejection ratio.

Theory:

A filter is an AC circuit that separates some frequencies from other in

within mixed – frequency signals. Audio equalizers and crossover networks are

two well-known applications of filter circuits. A Bode plot is a graph plotting

waveform amplitude or phase on one axis and frequency on the other.

A low-pass filter allows for easy passage of low-frequency signals from

source to load, and difficult passage of high-frequency signals. Capacitor low-pass

filters insert a resistor in series and a capacitor in parallel with the load as shown

in the circuit diagram. The former filter design tries to “block” the unwanted

frequency signal while the latter tries to short it out.

The cutoff frequency for a low-pass filter is that frequency at which the

output (load) voltage equals 70.7% of the input (Source) voltage. Above the cutoff

frequency, the output voltage is lower than 70.7% of the input, and vice-versa. See

the circuit diagram

A high-pass filter allows for easy passage of high-frequency signals from source to

load, and difficult passage of low-frequency signals. Capacitor high-pass filters

insert a capacitor in series with the load as shown in the circuit diagram. The

A band – pass filter works to screen out frequencies that are too low or too

high, giving easy passage only to frequencies within a certain range. Stacking a

low-pass filter on the end of a high-pass filter, or vice-versa can make band-pass

filters. Refer the circuit diagrams

Fig. 7.6

“Attenuate” means to reduce or diminish in amplitude. When you

turn down the volume control on your stereo, you are “attenuating” the signal

being sent to the speakers.

A band-stop filter works to screen out frequencies that are within a certain

range, giving easy passage only to frequencies outside of that range. Also known

as band-elimination, band-reject, or notch filters.

Theory:

The cathode ray oscilloscope is the most versatile measuring instrument

available. We can measure following parameters using the CRO:

9. AC or DC voltage.

10. Time (t=1/f).

11. Phase relationship

12. Waveform calculation: Rise time; fall time; on time; off-time

Distortion, etc.

We can also measure non-electrical physical quantities like pressure, strain,

temperature, acceleration, etc., by converting into electrical quantities using

a transducer.

17. Trigger circuit

18. Associated power supply.

11. The cathode ray tube is the heart of CRO. The CRT is enclosed in an

evacuated glass envelope to permit the electron beam to traverse in the

tube easily. The main functional units of CRO are as follows.

Electron gun assembly

Deflection plate unit

Screen.

12. Vertical Amplifier is the main factor in determining the bandwidth and

sensitivity of an oscilloscope. Vertical sensitivity is a measure of how

much the electron beam will be deflected for a specified input signal.

On the front panel of the oscilloscope, one can see a knob attached to a

rotary switch labeled volts/division. The rotary switch is electrically

connected to the input attenuation network. The setting of the rotary

switch indicates what amplitude signal is required to deflect the beam

vertically by one division.

13. Horizontal amplifier Under normal mode of operation, the horizontal

amplifier will amplify the sweep generator input. When the CRO is

being used in the X-Y mode, the horizontal amplifier will amplify the

signal applied to the horizontal input terminal. Although the vertical

amplifier mush be able to faithfully reproduce low-amplitude and high

frequency signal with fast rise-time, the horizontal amplifier is only

required to provide a faithful reproduction of the sweep signal which

has a relatively high amplitude and slow rise time.

14. Sweep generator and Trigger circuit These two units form the Signal

Synchronization unit of the CRO.

15. Associated Power Supply: The input signal may come from an

external source when the trigger selector switch is set to EXT or from

Page 162: Electron Devices and Circuits Lab

131351 - Electronic devices and circuits lab

Department of electrical and electronics engineering

162

low amplitude AC voltage at line frequency when the switch is set to

LINE or from the vertical amplifier when the switch is set to INT. When

set for INT (internal triggering), the trigger circuit receives its inputs

from the vertical amplifier.

Major Blocks in a Practical CRO

A CRO consists of a cathode ray tube (CRT) and additional control knobs.

The main parts of a CRT are:

7. Electron gun assembly.

8. Deflection plate assembly.

9. Fluorescent screen.

Electron Gun Assembly: The electron gun assembly produces a sharp beam of

electrons, which are accelerated to high velocity. This focused beam of electrons

strike the fluorescent screen with sufficient energy to cause a luminous spot on the

screen.

Deflection plate assembly: This part consists of two plates in which one pair of

plates is placed horizontally and other of plates is placed vertically. The signal

under test is applied to vertical deflecting plates. The horizontal deflection plates

are connected to a built-in ramp generator, which moves the luminous spot

periodically in a horizontal direction from left to right over the screen. These two

deflection plates give stationary appearance to the waveform on the screen. CRO

operates on voltage. Since the deflection of the electron beam is directly

Page 163: Electron Devices and Circuits Lab

131351 - Electronic devices and circuits lab

Department of electrical and electronics engineering

163

proportional to the deflecting voltage, the CRT may be used as a linear measuring

device. The voltage being measured is applied to the vertical plates through an

iterative network, whose propagation time corresponds to the velocity of electrons,

thereby synchronizing the voltage applied to the vertical plate with the velocity of

the beam.

Synchronization of input signal: The sweep generator produces a saw tooth

waveform, which is used to synchronize the applied voltage to obtain a stationary-

applied signal. This requires that the time base be operated at a submultiples

frequency of the signal under measurement. If synchronization is not done, the

pattern is not stationary, but appears to drift across the screen in a random fashion.

Internal synchronization This trigger is obtained from the time base generator to

synchronize the signal.

External synchronization An external trigger source can also be used to

synchronize the signal being measured.

Auto Triggering Mode The time base used in this case in a self-oscillating

condition, i.e., it gives an output even in the absence of any Y-input. The

advantage of this mode is that the beam is visible on the screen under all

conditions, including the zero input. When the input exceeds a certain magnitude

then the internal free running oscillator locks on to the frequency.

Precautions:

5. The ammeter is connected using thick wires.

6. While reversing ammeter polarity, see to it that the capacitor is not

discharged.

THEORY:

A PN junction diode is a two terminal junction device. It conducts only in

one direction (only on forward biasing).

FORWARD BIAS:

On forward biasing, initially no current flows due to barrier potential. As the

applied potential exceeds the barrier potential the charge carriers gain sufficient

energy to cross the potential barrier and hence enter the other region. The holes,

which are majority carriers in the P-region, become minority carriers on entering

Page 166: Electron Devices and Circuits Lab

131351 - Electronic devices and circuits lab

Department of electrical and electronics engineering

166

the N-regions, and electrons, which are the majority carriers in the N-region,

become minority carriers on entering the P-region. This injection of Minority

carriers results in the current flow, opposite to the direction of electron

movement.

Page 167: Electron Devices and Circuits Lab

131351 - Electronic devices and circuits lab

Department of electrical and electronics engineering

167

REVERSE BIAS:

On reverse biasing, the majority charge carriers are attracted towards the

terminals due to the applied potential resulting in the widening of the depletion

region. Since the charge carriers are pushed towards the terminals no current

flows in the device due to majority charge carriers. There will be some current in

the device due to the thermally generated minority carriers. The generation of

such carriers is independent of the applied potential and hence the current is

constant for all increasing reverse potential. This current is referred to as

THEORY:

A properly doped crystal diode, which has a sharp breakdown voltage, is known

as zener diode.

FORWARD BIAS:

On forward biasing, initially no current flows due to barrier potential. As the

applied potential increases, it exceeds the barrier potential at one value and the

charge carriers gain sufficient energy to cross the potential barrier and enter the

other region. the holes ,which are majority carriers in p-region, become minority

carriers on entering the N-regions and electrons, which are the majority carriers

in the N-regions become minority carriers on entering the P-region. This injection

of minority carriers results current, opposite to the direction of electron

movement.

REVERSE BIAS:

Page 172: Electron Devices and Circuits Lab

131351 - Electronic devices and circuits lab

Department of electrical and electronics engineering

172

When the reverse bias is applied due to majority carriers small amount of

current (ie) reverse saturation current flows across the junction. As the reverse

bias is increased to breakdown voltage, sudden rise in current takes place due to

zener effect.

ZENER EFFECT:

Normally, PN junction of Zener Diode is heavily doped. Due to heavy

doping the depletion layer will be narrow. When the reverse bias is increased the

potential across the depletion layer is more. This exerts a force on the electrons

in the outermost shell. Because of this force the electrons are pulled away from

the parent nuclei and become free electrons. This ionization, which occurs due to

electrostatic force of attraction, is known as Zener effect. It results in large

number of free carriers, which in turn increases the reverse saturation current

THEORY:

A BJT is a three terminal two – junction semiconductor device in which the

conduction is due to both the charge carrier. Hence it is a bipolar device and it

amplifier the sine waveform as they are transferred from input to output. BJT is

classified into two types – NPN or PNP. A NPN transistor consists of two N

types in between which a layer of P is sandwiched. The transistor consists of

three terminal emitter, collector and base. The emitter layer is the source of the

charge carriers and it is heartily doped with a moderate cross sectional area.

The collector collects the charge carries and hence moderate doping and large

cross sectional area. The base region acts a path for the movement of the

charge carriers. In order to reduce the recombination of holes and electrons the

base region is lightly doped and is of hollow cross sectional area. Normally the

transistor operates with the EB junction forward biased.

THEORY:

In this configuration the base is made common to both the input and out.

The emitter is given the input and the output is taken across the collector. The

current gain of this configuration is less than unity. The voltage gain of CB

configuration is high. Due to the high voltage gain, the power gain is also high. In

CB configuration, Base is common to both input and output. In CB configuration

the input characteristics relate IE and VEB for a constant VCB. Initially let VCB = 0

then the input junction is equivalent to a forward biased diode and the

characteristics resembles that of a diode. Where VCB = +VI (volts) due to early

effect IE increases and so the characteristics shifts to the left. The output

characteristics relate IC and VCB for a constant IE. Initially IC increases and then it

levels for a value IC = IE. When IE is increased IC also increases proportionality.

Though increase in VCB causes an increase in , since is a fraction, it is

negligible and so IC remains a constant for all values of VCB once it levels off.

THEORY:

FET is a voltage operated device. It has got 3 terminals. They are Source,

Drain & Gate. When the gate is biased negative with respect to the source, the

pn junctions are reverse biased & depletion regions are formed. The channel is

more lightly doped than the p type gate, so the depletion regions penetrate

deeply in to the channel. The result is that the channel is narrowed, its resistance

is increased, & ID is reduced. When the negative bias voltage is further

increased, the depletion regions meet at the center & ID is cutoff completely.

THEORY:

UJT(Double base diode) consists of a bar of lightly doped n-type silicon

with a small piece of heavily doped P type material joined to one side. It has got

three terminals. They are Emitter(E), Base1(B1),Base2(B2).Since the silicon bar

is lightly doped, it has a high resistance & can be represented as two resistors,

rB1 & rB2. When VB1B2 = 0, a small increase in VE forward biases the emitter

junction. The resultant plot of VE & I E is simply the characteristics of forward

biased diode with resistance. Increasing VEB1 reduces the emitter junction

reverse bias. When VEB1 = VrB1 there is no forward or reverse bias. & IE = 0.

Increasing VEB1 beyond this point begins to forward bias the emitter junction. At

the peak point, a small forward emitter current is flowing. This current is termed

as peak current( IP ). Until this point UJT is said to be operating in cutoff region.

When IE increases beyond peak current the device enters the negative

resistance region. In which the resistance rB1 falls rapidly & VE falls to the valley

THEORY:

PHOTODIODE:

A photo diode is a two terminal pn junction device, which operates on

reverse bias. On reverse biasing a pn junction diode, there results a constant

current due to minority charge carriers known as reverse saturation current.

Increasing the thermally generated minority carriers by applying external energy,

i.e., either heat or light energy at the junction can increase this current. When we

apply light energy as an external source, it results in a photo diode that is usually

placed in a glass package so that light can reach the junction. Initially when no

light is incident, the current is only the reverse saturation current that flows

through the reverse biased diode. This current is termed as the dark current of

the photo diode. Now when light is incident on the photo diode then the thermally

generated carriers increase resulting in an increased reverse current which is

proportional to the intensity of incident light. A photo diode can turn on and off at

a faster rate and so it is used as a fast acting switch.

PHOTOTRANSISTOR:

It is a transistor with an open base; there exists a small collector current

consisting of thermally produced minority carriers and surface leakage. By

exposing the collector junction to light, a manufacturer can produce a

phototransistor, a transistor that has more sensitivity to light than a photo diode.

Because the base lead is open, all the reverse current is forced into the base of

the transistor. The resulting collector current is ICeo = dcIr. The main difference

between a phototransistor and a photodiode is the current gain, dc. The same

amount of light striking both devices produces dc times more current in a

phototransistor than in a photodiode.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THERMISTOR

AIM:

To study the characteristics of Thermistor.

THEORY:

Thermistor or Thermal resistor is two – terminal semiconductor device

whose resistance is temperature sensitive. The value of such resistors decreases

with increase in temperature. Materials employed in the manufacture of the

thermistors include oxides of cobalt, nickel, copper, iron uranium and

manganese.

The thermistors has very high temperature coefficient of resistance, of the

order of 3 to 5% per C, making it an ideal temperature transducer. The

temperature coefficient of resistance is normally negative. The reistance at any

temperature T, is given approximately by

RT = Ro exp β (1/T – 1/To)

Where RT = thermistor resistance at temperature T (K), RO = thersmistor

resistance at temperature To (K), and = a constant determined by calibration.

At high temperatures, this equation reduces to

RT = Ro exp ( β/T)

The resistance – temperature characteristics is shown in Fig 21.10. The

curve is non – linear and the drop in resistance from 5000 to 10 occurs for an

increase in temperature from 20 to 100 C. The temperature of the device can

be changed internally or externally. An increase in current through the device will

raise its temperature carrying a drop in its terminal resistance. Any externally

heat source will result in an increase in its body temperature and drop in

resistance this type action (internal or external) lends itself well to control

mechanism.

Three useful parameters for characterizing the thermistor are the time

constant, dissipation constant , and resistance ratio. The time constant is the

time for a thermistor to change its resistance by 63% of its initial value, for zero –

power dissipation. Typical values of time constant range from 1 to 50 s.

SYMBOL:

MODEL GRAPH:

The dissipation factor is the power necessary to increase the temperature

of a thermistor by 1˚C. Typical values of dissipation factor range from 1 to 10

mW/˚C.

Resistance ratio is the ratio of the resistance at 25 ˚C. Its range is

THEORY:

The Differential amplifier circuit is an extremely popular connection used in

IC units. The circuit has separate inputs , two separate outputs and emitters are

connected together. If the same input is applied to both inputs, the operation is

called common mode. In double ended operation two input signals are applied ,

the difference of the inputs resulting in outputs from both collectors due to the

difference of the signals applied to both the inputs. The main feature of the

differential amplifier is the very large gain when opposite signals are applied to

inputs as compared to small signal resulting from common input. The ratio of this

difference gain to the common gain is called common mode rejection ratio.

Theory:

A filter is an AC circuit that separates some frequencies from other in

within mixed – frequency signals. Audio equalizers and crossover networks are

two well-known applications of filter circuits. A Bode plot is a graph plotting

waveform amplitude or phase on one axis and frequency on the other.

A low-pass filter allows for easy passage of low-frequency signals from

source to load, and difficult passage of high-frequency signals. Capacitor low-pass

filters insert a resistor in series and a capacitor in parallel with the load as shown

in the circuit diagram. The former filter design tries to “block” the unwanted

frequency signal while the latter tries to short it out.

The cutoff frequency for a low-pass filter is that frequency at which the

output (load) voltage equals 70.7% of the input (Source) voltage. Above the cutoff

frequency, the output voltage is lower than 70.7% of the input, and vice-versa. See

the circuit diagram

A band – pass filter works to screen out frequencies that are too low or too

high, giving easy passage only to frequencies within a certain range. Stacking a

low-pass filter on the end of a high-pass filter, or vice-versa can make band-pass

filters. Refer the circuit diagrams

Fig. 7.6

“Attenuate” means to reduce or diminish in amplitude. When you

turn down the volume control on your stereo, you are “attenuating” the signal

being sent to the speakers.

A band-stop filter works to screen out frequencies that are within a certain

range, giving easy passage only to frequencies outside of that range. Also known

as band-elimination, band-reject, or notch filters.

2. Capacitance Box 1

3. Inductance Box 1

4. Function Generator 1

5. Bread board 1

Theory:

The cathode ray oscilloscope is the most versatile measuring instrument

available. We can measure following parameters using the CRO:

13. AC or DC voltage.

14. Time (t=1/f).

15. Phase relationship

16. Waveform calculation: Rise time; fall time; on time; off-time

Distortion, etc.

We can also measure non-electrical physical quantities like pressure, strain,

temperature, acceleration, etc., by converting into electrical quantities using

a transducer.

Major blocks:

19. Cathode ray tube (CRT)

20. Vertical amplifier

21. Horizontal amplifier

22. Sweep generator

215

23. Trigger circuit

24. Associated power supply.

16. The cathode ray tube is the heart of CRO. The CRT is enclosed in an

evacuated glass envelope to permit the electron beam to traverse in the

tube easily. The main functional units of CRO are as follows.

Electron gun assembly

Deflection plate unit

Screen.

17. Vertical Amplifier is the main factor in determining the bandwidth and

sensitivity of an oscilloscope. Vertical sensitivity is a measure of how

much the electron beam will be deflected for a specified input signal.

On the front panel of the oscilloscope, one can see a knob attached to a

rotary switch labeled volts/division. The rotary switch is electrically

connected to the input attenuation network. The setting of the rotary

switch indicates what amplitude signal is required to deflect the beam

vertically by one division.

18. Horizontal amplifier Under normal mode of operation, the horizontal

amplifier will amplify the sweep generator input. When the CRO is

being used in the X-Y mode, the horizontal amplifier will amplify the

signal applied to the horizontal input terminal. Although the vertical

amplifier mush be able to faithfully reproduce low-amplitude and high

frequency signal with fast rise-time, the horizontal amplifier is only

required to provide a faithful reproduction of the sweep signal which

has a relatively high amplitude and slow rise time.

19. Sweep generator and Trigger circuit These two units form the Signal

Synchronization unit of the CRO.

20. Associated Power Supply: The input signal may come from an

external source when the trigger selector switch is set to EXT or from

Page 216: Electron Devices and Circuits Lab

216

low amplitude AC voltage at line frequency when the switch is set to

LINE or from the vertical amplifier when the switch is set to INT. When

set for INT (internal triggering), the trigger circuit receives its inputs

from the vertical amplifier.

Major Blocks in a Practical CRO

A CRO consists of a cathode ray tube (CRT) and additional control knobs.

The main parts of a CRT are:

10. Electron gun assembly.

11. Deflection plate assembly.

12. Fluorescent screen.

Electron Gun Assembly: The electron gun assembly produces a sharp beam of

electrons, which are accelerated to high velocity. This focused beam of electrons

strike the fluorescent screen with sufficient energy to cause a luminous spot on the

screen.

Deflection plate assembly: This part consists of two plates in which one pair of

plates is placed horizontally and other of plates is placed vertically. The signal

under test is applied to vertical deflecting plates. The horizontal deflection plates

are connected to a built-in ramp generator, which moves the luminous spot

periodically in a horizontal direction from left to right over the screen. These two

deflection plates give stationary appearance to the waveform on the screen. CRO

operates on voltage. Since the deflection of the electron beam is directly

Page 217: Electron Devices and Circuits Lab

131351 - Electronic devices and circuits lab

Department of electrical and electronics engineering

217

proportional to the deflecting voltage, the CRT may be used as a linear measuring

device. The voltage being measured is applied to the vertical plates through an

iterative network, whose propagation time corresponds to the velocity of electrons,

thereby synchronizing the voltage applied to the vertical plate with the velocity of

the beam.

Synchronization of input signal: The sweep generator produces a saw tooth

waveform, which is used to synchronize the applied voltage to obtain a stationary-

applied signal. This requires that the time base be operated at a submultiples

frequency of the signal under measurement. If synchronization is not done, the

pattern is not stationary, but appears to drift across the screen in a random fashion.

Internal synchronization This trigger is obtained from the time base generator to

synchronize the signal.

External synchronization An external trigger source can also be used to

synchronize the signal being measured.

Auto Triggering Mode The time base used in this case in a self-oscillating

condition, i.e., it gives an output even in the absence of any Y-input. The

advantage of this mode is that the beam is visible on the screen under all

conditions, including the zero input. When the input exceeds a certain magnitude

then the internal free running oscillator locks on to the frequency.

Precautions:

7. The ammeter is connected using thick wires.

8. While reversing ammeter polarity, see to it that the capacitor is not

discharged.
