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.

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:

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: FORWARD BIAS: 1. Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram. 2. Vary the power supply in such a way that the readings are taken in steps of 0.1V.

3. Note down the corresponding ammeter readings. 4. Plot the graph : Vf (vs) If. 5. Find the dynamic resistance r = δV / δI.

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.

transistor.

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 = αIE. When IE is

increased IC also increases proportionality. Though increase in VCB causes an increase in α,

since α 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: The MOS (metal-oxide- semiconductor) transistor (or MOSFET) is the basic building block of most computer chips, as well as of chips that include analog and digital circuits. In this lab, we will work with what is called an n-channel MOS transistor. The internal structure and operation of this device, as well as of its complement, the p-channel MOSFET are studied in semiconductor device courses. Here we will concern ourselves only with external i-v behavior. A common symbol for the n-channel MOS transistor is shown in Fig. 3.3(a). Of the terminals shown, the ones we will focus on are the source, the drain, and the gate. In the transistor we will be working with in this lab, the fourth terminal, labeled body in Fig. 3.3(a), is not accessible externally; rather, it is internally connected to the source, as shown by the broken line. For simplicity, then, we will use the symbol shown in Fig. 3.3 (b).

U3ECB04 SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND CIRCUITS LAB III SEM ECE

To study the MOS transistor, we can connect two external voltage sources to it, as shown in Fig.3.5. These provide the drain-source voltage vDS and the gate-source voltage vGS. The voltage vDS may cause a drain-to-source current iDS as shown, provided that there is a path for this current from the drain (through the device) to the source. Whether such a path exists or not depends on the value of vGS. For small values of vGS, no such path is established within the device, and iDS is zero. The device then looks like an open circuit between the drain and the source. For a sufficiently high vGS, an internal current path, called a channel, is established between the drain and the source. Now a current iDS can flow. The precise value of vGS determines how easy it is for the channel to conduct the current; the higher the vGS value, the easier such conduction is and the larger the value of iDS, other things being equal. For a given vGS, the value of iDS will also depend on vDS and will tend to increase with the latter. PROCEDURE:

1. Hook up the circuit of Fig. 3.5. This circuit will be used in the following steps to investigate the i-v characteristics of the n-channel MOSFET. The chip used in this experiment is a CD4007, containing six MOSFETs. We will use only one of them, as shown in the pin assignment in Fig. 3.4

Fig 3.4 Pin Diagram

2. Set vGS = 5 V Measure the drain current iDS, versus the drain-source voltage, vDS, from 0 to 5 V Make sure you take measurements at a sufficient number of vDS values since you will later need to plot iDS versus vDS. Include a point at vDS = 0.1 V for later use.

3. Repeat the entire step 2 for vGS = 3 V and vDS = 1 V.

4. With vDS = 5 V, determine the value of vGS at which the current iDS becomes negligible; assume that for our purposes this means 5 A. This value of vGS is close to the so-called threshold voltage of the transistor, and it is positive for an "enhancement mode" MOSFET, which is what we are working with here.

5. Using the data you have collected in steps 2 and 3, plot a family of curves for the

drain current, iDS, versus the drain-source voltage, vDS from 0 to 5 V, with vGS as a

parameter. Use a single set of vDS - iDS axes for this plot. There should be one curve for each vGS value (1 V, 3 V, and 5 V) on this family of curves. Label each curve with the corresponding vGS value.

6. You should be able to observe on the above plot that, for each curve, the current tends to

a constant (or, as we say, saturates) as vDS is made large. What is, approximately, the

saturation value of the current for each of the three vGS values?

THEORY: A silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is a semiconductor device that acts as a true electronic switch. It can change the alternating current in to direct current. It can control the amount of power fed to the load. Thus the SCR combines the features of rectifier and a transistor. If the supply voltage is less than the break over voltage, the gate will open (IG = 0). Then increase the supply voltage from zero, a point is reached when the SCR starts conducting. Under this condition, the voltage across the SCR suddenly drop and most of the supply voltage appears across the load resistance RL.If proper gate current is made to flow the SCR can close at much smaller supply voltage. PROCEDURE:

• The connections are made as per in the circuit diagram. • First by varying RPS 2 then gate current (IG) is kept constant. • The voltage between anode and cathode is increased in step by step by varying the RPS 1. • The corresponding anode current (IA) is noted. • The process is repeated for two more constant value of IG, the readings are tabulated.

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 voltage.Vv. At this point IE = Iv. A further

increase of IE causes the device to enter the saturation region.

THEORY: A silicon photodiode is a solid state light detector that consists of a shallow diffused P-N junction with connections provided to the outside world. When the top surface is illuminated, photons of light penetrate into the silicon to a depth determined by the photon energy and are absorbed by the silicon generating electron-hole pairs.

The electron-hole pairs are free to diffuse (or wander) throughout the bulk of the photodiode until they recombine. The average time before recombination is the “minority carrier lifetime”. At the P-N junction is a region of strong electric field called the depletion region. It is formed by the voltage potential that exists at the P-N junction. Those light generated carriers that wander into contact with this field are swept across the junction. If an external connection is made to both sides of the junction a photo induced current will flow as long as light falls upon the photodiode. In addition to the photocurrent, a voltage is produced across the diode. In effect, the photodiode functions exactly like a solar cell by generating a current and voltage when exposed to light.

THOERY:

The photo transistor is a 3 terminal device which gives an electrical

current as output if an input light excitation is provided. It works in reverse bias.

When reverse biased along with the reverse bias current ICO, the light current IL is

also added to the total output current. The amount of current flow depends on the

input light intensity given as excitation. Phototransistor is basically a photodiode

with amplification and operates by exposing its base region to the light source.

Phototransistor light sensors operate the same as photodiodes except that they can

provide current gain and are much more sensitive than the photodiode with

currents are 50 - 100 times greater than that of the standard photodiode.

Phototransistors consist mainly of a bipolar NPN transistor with the collector-base

PN-junction reverse-biased. The phototransistor’s large base region is left

electrically unconnected and uses photons of light to generate a base current which

in turn causes a collector to emitter current to flow.

THEORY:

In full-wave rectifier current flows through the load in the same direction for both

half cycles of input AC voltage .This can be achieved with two diodes working alternatively.

During the +ve half cycle one diode conducts and supplies current to the load. During the

negative half cycle the other diode conducts and current flows through the load in the same

direction. Thus the full-wave rectifier produces continuous pulsating DC output.

THEORY:

Circuits that maintain power supply voltages or current output within specified limits, or

tolerances are called Regulators. They are designated as dc voltage or dc current regulators,

depending on their specific application. Voltage regulator circuits are additions to basic power supply circuits, which are made up

of rectifier and filter sections (Fig 8.1). The purpose of the voltage regulator is to provide

an output voltage with little or no variation. Regulator circuits sense changes in output

voltages and compensate for the changes

Fig 8.1 Basic Voltage regulator Block Diagram

There are two types of voltage regulators. Basic voltage regulators are classified as

U3ECB04 SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND CIRCUITS LAB III SEM ECE

either Series or Shunt, depending on the location or position of the regulating element(s) in relation to the circuit load resistance. Fig 2 illustrates these two basic types of voltage regulators. Broken lines have been used in the figure to highlight the difference between the series and shunt regulators.

Fig 8.2 Shunt and Series regulators

The schematic drawing in view B is that of a series regulator. It is called series regulator because the regulating device is connected in series with the load resistance. Fig 8.2 illustrates the principle of series voltage regulation. From the figure it is clear that the regulator is in series with the load resistance (RL) and that the fixed resistor (RS) is in series with the load resistance. You already know the voltage drop across affixed resistor remains constant unless the current flowing through it varies (increases or decreases). The schematic for a typical series voltage regulator is shown in Fig8.3. Notice that this

regulator has a NPN transistor 2N3904 in place of the variable resistor found in Fig 8.2. Because the total load current passes through this transistor, it is sometimes called a ‘‘pass

transistor’’. Other components, which make up the circuit, are the current limiting resistor

of 200 and the Zener diode of 5.6V

Recall that a Zener diode is a diode that block current until a specified voltage is applied. Remember also that the applied voltage is called breakdown, or Zener voltage. When the Zener voltage is reached, the Zener diode conducts from its anode to its cathode (with the direction of the arrow).

U3ECB04 SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND CIRCUITS LAB III SEM ECE

In this voltage regulator, Transistor has a constant voltage applied to its base. This

voltage is often called the reference voltage. As the change in the circuit output voltage

occur, they are sensed at the emitter of the transistor producing a corresponding change in

the forward bias of the transistor. In other words, transistor compensates by increasing or

decreasing its resistance in order to change the circuit voltage division.

CIRCUIT OPERATION: CASE 1 : when input voltage is constant while Load varies. Here NPN Transistor used in series controls the amount of the input voltage that gets to the

output and zener diode provides the reference voltage. The zener establishes the value of

the base voltage for transistor. Keep in mind the polarities of different voltages, they are

related by the equation

VL + VBE - V z = 0 Kirchoff's voltage law Therefore VBE = VZ -VL Here VZ is fixed

The output voltage across load will equal the zener voltage minus a 0.7-volt drop across the forward biased base-emitter junction of transistor, or 4.9V (5.6 - 0.7). When current demand is increased by decreasing RL, VL tends to decrease. It will increase

VBE because VZ is fixed. This will increase forward bias of the transistor thereby increasing

its level of conduction. This will lead to decrease in the collector-emitter resistance of the

transistor which will slightly increase the input current to compensate for decrease in RL

so that VL = ILRL will remain at constant value. CASE 2: when input voltage varies while Load remains constant. When the input voltage increases, output voltage across increases momentarily. This

momentarily deviation or variation, from the required regulated output voltage of 4.9 volts

is a result of a rise in the input voltage. Since the base voltage of transistor is held at 5.6V by

zener, that's why the forward bias of transistor decreases. Because this bias voltage is less

than the normal 0.7 volts, the resistance of transistor increases, thereby increasing the

voltage drop across the transistor. This voltage drop restores the output voltage to the required regulated voltage of 4.9V.

THEORY: CIRCUIT OPERATION: Case 1: when input voltage is constant while Load varies. Since VZ is fixed, any decrease or increase in VL will have a corresponding effect on VBE. Suppose, VL decreases, then as seen from the above relation VBE also decreases. As a result, IB decreases, hence IC ( = βIB) decreases, thereby decreasing I and hence VR (=IR). Consequently, VL increases because at all times

Vin = VR + VL or VL = Vin - VR From the above description it is concluded that when by any reason VL decreases VR also decreases thereby keeping VL constant. Similarly, when by any reason VL increases VR also increases thereby keeping VL constant.

Case 2: when input voltage varies while Load remains constant. When the input voltage increases, output voltage across RL also increases momentarily. This momentarily deviation or variation, from the required regulated output voltage of 6.3 volts is a result of a rise in the input voltage. This increases forward bias of transistor. Recall that the voltage drop across Zener remains constant at 5.6V. Since the output voltage is composed of the Zener voltage and the base-emitter voltage, the output voltage momentarily increases. At this time, the increase in the forward bias of transistor lowers the resistance of the transistor allowing more current to flow through it. Since this current must also pass through R, there is also an increase in the voltage drop across this resistor. Due to increase in this voltage drop across R, voltage across VL remains close to the required regulated value of output voltage.

THEORY:

When sinusoidal or non-sinusoidal waveforms are applied to non linear networks consisting one nonlinear device such as diode or transistor the resultant output waveform may be different from the i/p waveform. Hence the nonlinear circuit said to shape the i/p voltage waveform. This is called non linear wave shaping.

The clipping circuit may be defined as a circuit that limits the amplitude of a voltage

by removing the signal above or below the reference voltage. Either +ive side or –ive side or both sides of the waveform may be clipped. Clipping circuits are also known as voltage or current limiters.

The diode clipper circuits are classified according to the placement of the diode in

the circuit as a series diode clipper or shunt diode clipper. SHUNT DIODE CLIPPERS: i) WITH POSITIVE BIAS CLIPPERS:

Assuming the diode used is an ideal the shunt diode clipper with +ve bias is shown

in the figure. The diode is forward biased only when Vi > Vr as the cathode is at the potential of Vr. To make the diode forward bias the potential at the cathode must be greater than Vr.

During the +ve half cycle Vi>Vr the diode acts as a short circuit and o/p voltage is

equals to the reference voltage Vr. When Vi <Vr the diode is reverse bias and the total i/p voltage Vi appears across the open circuit o/p terminals as shown in the figure. ii) WITH NEGATIVE BIAS CLIPPERS:

Assuming the diode used is an ideal in the shunt clippers with –ve bias is shown in

the figure. The diode is forward bias during –ve half cycle when Vi<Vr during this period diode acts as a short circuit and the o/p voltage equals to the reference voltage Vr.

During complete +ve half cycle as well as during –ve half cycle when Vi > Vr the

diode is reverse biased and it acts as a open circuit. Therefore Vi appears across open circuit terminals of the o/p circuit. SERIES DIODE CLIPPERS:

Assuming the diode used is an ideal the series diode clippers with +ve bias as shown in the figure, The diode conducts during –ve half cycle as well as during +ve half cycle when Vi<Vr as the anode of the diode is at the potential Vr. During this conduction the current flows through the resistor when an o/p voltage appears across the open circuited o/p terminals which is equal to Vi . During +ve half cycle when Vi >Vr the diode is reverse biased no current flows through the resistor and the o/p voltage equal to the reference voltage Vr.

Assuming the diode used is an ideal one the series diode clipper with +ve bias is

shown in the figure. The diode conducts only when Vi >Vr as the cathode is at the potential of Vr. To make diode forward bias anode potential must be greater than Vr. During +ve half cycle when Vi > Vr the diode is forward bias and the current flows through the diode as well as resistor. An o/p voltage appears across the open circuit output terminals which are equal to Vi. During –ve half cycle as well as during +ve half cycle when Vi<Vr the diode is reverse bias and no current flows through the diode , hence through the resistor . Thus o/p voltage equals to the reference voltage Vr. UNBIASED SHUNT CLIPPERS:

During the +ve half cycle the diode is forward biased and diode acts as a short

circuit for the i/p signal. Therefore o/p voltage is zero. During –ve half cycle the diode is reverse biased and the diode acts as an open circuit. Thus Vi=Vr . During –ve half cycle the diode is forward bias and acts as a short circuit for the i/p signal. Therefore o/p is equal to zero. During +ve half cycle the diode is reverse biased and the diode acts as an open circuit thus the o/p voltage = i/p voltage.

THEORY:

Clamping circuits are circuits, which are used to clamp or fix the extremity of a periodic wave form to some constant reference level. Clamping circuits may be one way clamps or two way clamps.

The clamping circuits only changes the dc level of the input signal .It does not affect

its shape. Clamping circuits may be positive voltage clamping circuits or negative voltage clamping circuits. In positive clamping, the negative extremity of the wave form is at the reference level and the entire wave form appears above the reference level. i.e. the output wave form is positively clamped with reference to the reference level. In negative clamping the positive extremity of the wave form is fixed at the reference level and the entire wave form appears below the reference voltage. i.e. the output wave form is negatively clamped with reference to the reference level.

The capacitors are essential in the clamping circuits. The difference between the

clipping and clamping circuits is that while the clipper clips off an unwanted portion of the input wave form, the clipper simply clamps the maximum positive or negative peak

point is ICQ, VCEQ. At Vin max , IB = IB max , and the operating point is IC max, VCE min. At Vin min, IB = IB min, and the operating point is IC min , VCE max . 2. If the total change in VCE is greater than total change in Vin, we have an amplifier
