1. Characteristics of PN Junction Diode and Zener diode.
Aim:
To determine the forward and reverse characteristics of the given PN junction diode and to determine cut-
in voltage
Apparatus required:
Theory:
Donor impurities (pentavalent) are introduced into one-side and acceptor
impurities(trivalent) into the other side of a single crystal of an intrinsic semiconductor to form a PN
junction diode with a junction called depletion region (this region is depleted off the charge carriers). This
region gives rise to a potential barrier called cut-in Voltage. This is the voltage across the diode at which
it starts conducting. The PN junction can conduct beyond this potential. The PN junction supports
unidirectional current flow. If positive terminal of the input supply is connected to anode (P-side) and
negative terminal of the input supply is connected the cathode Then diode is said to be forward biased.
If negative terminal of the input supply is connected to anode (p-side) and positive
terminal of the input supply is connected to cathode (n-side) then the diode is said to be reverse biased.
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. 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 .
1
Terminals no current flows through the device due to majority charge carriers. There will be
some current in the device due to 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.

7 Bread Board - 2
Theory:
A properly doped crystal diode, which has a sharp breakdown voltage, is known as zener diode.
1. 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.
6
2. 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

Operation:

During the negative half cycle, a positive voltage appears at the anode of D2 and hence it is
forward biased, resulting a current Id2 through the load. At the same instant a negative voltage
appears at the anode of D1, reverse biasing it and hence it doesn’t conduct.
Ripple Factor :
Ripple factor is defined as the ratio of the effective value of AC components to the average
DC value.It is denoted by the symbol ' '.
VNL = Voltage across load resistance, when minimum current flows through it. VFL = Voltage
across load resistance, when maximum current flows through. For an ideal Full-wave rectifier, the
percentage regulation is 0 percent. The percentage of regulation isvery small for a practical full
wave rectifier.
It is the maximum voltage that the diode has to withstand when it is reverse biased.

Aim:
Measurement of percentage regulation by varying load resistor.
Apparatus Required:
1 Resistor 1KΩ 1
2 Voltmeter 0-20V 2
5 Resister Load - -
Theory:
Zener diode is a P-N junction diode specially designed to operate in the reverse biased
mode. It is acting as normal diode while forward biasing. It has a particular voltage known as
break down voltage, at which the diode break downs while reverse biased. In the case of normal
diodes the diode damages at the break down voltage. But Zener diode is specially designed to operate
in the reverse breakdown region. The basic principle of Zener diode is the Zener breakdown.
When a diode is heavily doped, it’s depletion region will be narrow.
When a high reverse voltage is applied across the junction, there will be very strong electric
field at the junction. And the electron hole pair generation takes place. Thus heavy current flows.
This is known as Zener break down. So a Zener diode, in a forward biased condition acts as a
normal diode. In reverse biased mode, after the break down of junction current through diode
increases sharply. But the voltage across it remains constant. This principle is used in voltage
regulator using Zener diodes.

COMMON EMITTER INPUT-OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS.
Aim:
To obtain the input and output characteristics of the given transistor in common emitter configuration.
Apparatus required:
Theory:
A NPN function transistor consist of a silicon (or germanium) crystal in which a layer of
p – type silicon is sandwiched between two layers of N – type silicon. The arrow on emitter lead specifies
the direction of the current flow when the emitter – base function is forward biased. As the conductivity
of the BJT depends on both the majority and minority carriers it is called bipolar device. In CE
configuration, Emitter is common to both the Emitter and Base.
A transistor can be in any of the three configurations viz, Common base, Common
emitter and Common Collector .The transistor consists of three terminal emitter, collector and base.
The emitter layer is the source of the charge carriers and it is heavily doped with a moderate cross
sectional area. The collector collects the charge carries and hence has 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 emitter base junction forward biased.
In transistor, the current is same in both junctions, which indicates that there is a transfer of
resistance between the two junctions which is known as transfer resistance of transistor.

Theory:
A common emitter amplifier is type of BJT amplifier which increases the voltage level of the
applied input signal Vin at output of collector. The CE amplifier typically has a relatively high
input resistance (1 - 10 KΩ) and a fairly high output resistance. Therefore it is generally used to
drive medium to high resistance loads. It is typically used in applications where a small voltage
signal needs to be amplified to a large voltage signal like radio receivers. The input signal Vin
is applied to base emitter junction of the transistor and amplifier output Vo is taken across
collector terminal. Transistor is maintained at the active region by using the resistors R1,R2 and
Rc. A very small change in base current produces a much larger change in collector current.
The output Vo of the common emitter amplifier is 180 degrees out of phase with the applied

Theory :
There are three basic types of FET amplifier or FET transistor namely common source
amplifier, common gate amplifier and source follower amplifier. The common-source (CS)
amplifier may be viewed as a transconductance amplifier or as a voltage amplifier.
i) As a transconductance amplifier, the input voltage is seen as modulating the current going
to the load.
ii) As a voltage amplifier, input voltage modulates the amount of current flowing through
the FET, changing the voltage across the output resistance according to Ω's law.
However, the FET device's output resistance typically is not high enough for a reasonable
transconductance amplifier (ideally infinite), nor low enough for a decent voltage amplifier (ideally
zero). Another major drawback is the amplifier's limited high-frequency response.
34
Therefore, in practice the output often is routed through either a voltage follower
(common-drain or CD stage), or a current follower (common-gate or CG stage), to obtain more
favorable output and frequency characteristics

Theory:
A common collector amplifier is a unity gain BJT amplifier used for impedance matching
and as a buffer amplifier.
Circuit Operation:
When a positive half-cycle of the input signal is applied to Base emitter junction of
transistorthe forward bias voltage Vbe is increased, which in turn increases the base current Ib
of transistor. Since emitter current Ie is directly proportional to I b the voltage drop across the
Emitter Ve= IeRe is increased, hence, output voltage Vo is increased, thus, we get positive
half-cycle of the output. It means that a positive-going input signal results in a positive going
output signal and, consequently, the input and output signals are in phase with each other.
Similarly the negative half cycle of input signal produces negative going output signal.

i) The difference mode input voltage is defined as Vd = (V1-V2)
ii) The common mode input voltage is defined as the Vcm= (V1+V2)/2
iii) The CMRR is defined as the ratio of the differential gain Ad to common mode gain
Ac andis generally expressed in dB. CMRR= 20 log10 ( Ad / Ac)
Procedure:
DC Analysis:
Q point analysis:
It is the process to find the maximum input voltage that can be handled by the
amplifier, so that itamplifies the input signal without any distortion.
55
Procedure:
Apply input signal Vin = 20 mV of 1Khz frequency to the amplifier using the signal
generator between base emitter junction of the transistor. Find the sinusoidal output using
CRO across RL. By increasing the amplitude of the input signal find maximum input voltage
VMSH across VBE at which the sinusoidal signal gets distorted during the process
which can be seen in the CRO. The amplitude obtained at this point is maximum voltage
that can be applied to the transistor for efficient operating of transistor.

CLASS A TRANSFORMER COUPLED POWER AMPLIFIER
Aim:
To construct a class A power amplifier and to determine the efficiency from its
output waveform.
Apparatus Required:
1 Transistor SL100 1
2 Resistor 100 Ω , 10 Ω, 560 Ω 2,1,1
Theory:
Transistor power amplifiers handle large signals. If the current flows at all times duringthe
full cycle of the signal, the power amplifier is known as class A amplifier.
Obviously, for this to happen the power amplifier must be biased in such a way that no part
of the signal is cut off. The efficiency of class A amplifier is only 50%. But it provides less
power dissipation. Also there is no distortion in class A power amplifier.
Procedure:
1. Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram.
2. Set the input and apply the input signal from the FG and observe the output.
3. Note down the collector current using ammeter.
4. Draw the input and output waveform.

5. By using specified formula, AC output power, DC input power and efficiency are
calculated.
