AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on analyzing a diode and op-amp circuit with a sine wave input of 6Vpp. When the input is positive, D1 conducts, resulting in a Vout of 3V, while D2 remains off. Conversely, with a negative input, D1 is off and D2 conducts, leading to a Vout of 0V. The op-amp output is influenced by negative feedback, yielding Vout values of -0.7V for positive inputs and 1.5V for negative inputs. The participant seeks confirmation on the correctness of their approach, which receives validation from another contributor.

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



A1.b) Input will be a sine wave 6Vpp . When the input goes positive, D1 conducts and short circuits the ‘first’ resistor. D2 doesn’t conduct (it acts as an open circuit) and so Vout = voltage across R in parallel = 3V.

When the input goes negative D1 doesn’t conduct and D2 does. Therefore, the voltage goes through the ‘first’ resistor but the second resistor in parallel is short circuited. Therefore Vout = 0v since the diode is ideal.A1.C) The output from the op-amp will be = to vin . -1 (negative feedback) .When vin goes positive, D conducts and Vout = -0.7V

When Vin goes negative D acts as an open circuit, so the Vout = 1.5V

-------------------

Obviously the answers above somewhat incomplete since a graph of v_in/v_out is also needed, but i just wanted someone to check if i have got the right idea.

regards,
Mo.
