Assignment:
In the diode circuit shown below, R1 = R2 = R3 = R4 = 20 KΩ and the diodes may be considered to be ideal.
(a) Plot the vo/vi transfer characteristic for the circuit for -50v s v, s +50v. Clearly annotate the graph showing all breakpoints and all significant values.
(b) Sketch the output waveform that results when a voltage, which repeatedly ramps linearly between -50v s v, s +50v, is applied as input.
Clearly state and justify all assumptions made.
