P-N Junction Diode

If in a p-n junction, a square input signal of 10 V is applied, as shown,

Figure

then the output across RL will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. The diode is forward biased when the input is +5+5 V, so RLR_L gets +5+5 V.
  2. When the input is −5-5 V the diode is reverse biased, no current flows, so the output is 00.
  3. The output is a pulse from 0 to +5+5 V. So the answer is (b).
