us more insight into how changes in load resistance affect the
load voltage.
12. It is usually easy to measure open-circuit voltage and shortedload current. By using a load resistor and measuring voltage
under load, it is easy to calculate the Thevenin or Norton
resistance.

JOB INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
Note: The text and illustrations cover many of the job interview
questions in detail. An answer is given to job interview questions
only when the text has insufficient information.
2. It depends on how accurate your calculations need to be. If
an accuracy of 1 percent is adequate, you should include the
source resistance whenever it is greater than 1 percent of the
load resistance.
5. Measure the open-load voltage to get the Thevenin voltage
VTH. To get the Thevenin resistance, reduce all sources to
zero and measure the resistance between the AB terminals to
get RTH. If this is not possible, measure the voltage VL across
a load resistor and calculate the load current IL. Then divide
VTH – VL by IL to get RTH.
6. The advantage of a 50 Ω voltage source over a 600 Ω voltage
source is the ability to be a stiff voltage source to a lower
value resistance load. The load must be 100 greater than the
internal resistance in order for the voltage source to be considered stiff.
7. The expression cold-cranking amperes refers to the amount
of current a car battery can deliver in freezing weather
when it is needed most. What limits actual current is the
Thevenin resistance caused by chemical and physical
parameters inside the battery, not to mention the quality of the
connections outside.
8. It means that the load resistance is not large compared to the
Thevenin resistance, so that a large load current exists.
9. Ideal. Because troubles usually produce large changes in
voltage and current, so that the ideal approximation is adequate for most troubles.
10. You should infer nothing from a reading that is only
5 percent from the ideal value. Actual circuit troubles
will usually cause large changes in circuit voltages. Small
changes can result from component variations that are still
within the allowable tolerance.
11. Either may be able to simplify the analysis, save time when
calculating load current for several load resistances, and give

Solution:

RS > 100(1 kΩ)
RL > 100 kΩ
V = IR
V = (1 mA)(100 kΩ)
V = 100 V
Answer: A 100 V battery in series with a 100 kΩ resistor.
1-30. Given:
VS = 30 V
VL = 15 V
RTH < 2 kΩ
Solution: Assume a value for one of the resistors. Since
the Thevenin resistance is limited to 2 kΩ, pick a value
less than 2 kΩ. Assume R2 = 1 kΩ.
VL = VS[R2/(R1 + R2)]
(Voltage divider formula)
R1 = [(VS)(R2)/VL] – R2
R1 = [(30 V)(1 kΩ)/(15 V)] – 1 kΩ
R1 = 1 kΩ
RTH = (R1R2/R1 + R2)
RTH = [(1 kΩ)(1 kΩ)]/(1 kΩ + 1 kΩ)
RTH = 500 Ω
1-4
Answer: The value for R1 and R2 is 1 kΩ. Another possible solution is R1 = R2 = 4 kΩ. Note: The criteria will
be satisfied for any resistance value up to 4 kΩ and when
both resistors are the same value.
1-31. Given:
VS = 30 V
VL = 10 V
RL > 1 MΩ
RS < 0.01RL
(since the voltage source must be stiff)
(Eq. 1-1)
Solution:
RS < 0.01RL
RS < 0.01(1 MΩ)
RS < 10 kΩ
Since the Thevenin equivalent resistance would be the
series resistance, RTH < 10 kΩ.
Assume a value for one of the resistors. Since the
Thevenin resistance is limited to 1 kΩ, pick a value less
than 10 kΩ. Assume R2 = 5 kΩ.
VL = VS[R2/(R1 + R2)]
(Voltage divider formula)
R1 = [(VS)(R2)/VL] – R2
R1 = [(30 V)(5 kΩ)/(10 V)] – 5 kΩ
R1 = 10 kΩ
RTH = R1R2/(R1 + R2)
RTH = [(10 kΩ)(5 kΩ)]/(10 kΩ + 5 kΩ)
RTH = 3.33 kΩ
Since RTH is one-third of 10 kΩ, we can use R1 and R2
values that are three times larger.
Answer:
R1 = 30 kΩ
R2 = 15 kΩ
Note: The criteria will be satisfied as long as R1 is twice
R2 and R2 is not greater than 15 kΩ.
1-32. Answer: First, measure the voltage across the terminals.
This is the Thevenin voltage. Next, connect the ammeter to the battery terminals—measure the current. Next,
use the values above to find the total resistance. Finally,
subtract the internal resistance of the ammeter from this
result. This is the Thevenin resistance.
1-33. Answer: First, measure the voltage across the terminals.
This is the Thevenin voltage. Next, connect a resistor
across the terminals. Next, measure the voltage across
the resistor. Then, calculate the current through the load
resistor. Then, subtract the load voltage from the Thevenin voltage. Then, divide the difference voltage by the
current. The result is the Thevenin resistance.
1-34. Solution: Thevenize the circuit. There should be a
Thevenin voltage of 0.148 V and a resistance of 6 kΩ.
IL = VTH/(RTH + RL)
IL = 0.148 V/(6 kΩ + 0)
IL = 24.7 μA
IL = 0.148 V/(6 kΩ + 1 kΩ)
IL = 21.1 μA
IL = 0.148 V/(6 kΩ + 2 kΩ)
IL = 18.5 μA
IL = 0.148 V/(6 kΩ + 3 kΩ)

flow by virtue of their single outer-shell electron, which is
loosely held. When holes reach the end of a semiconductor,
they are filled by the conductor’s outer-shell electrons entering at that point.

4. If you have a data sheet, look up the maximum current rating and the breakdown voltage. Then, check the schematic
diagram to see whether the ratings are adequate. If they are,
check the circuit wiring.
7. Measure the voltage across a resistor in series with the diode.
Then, divide the voltage by the resistance.
8. With the power off, check the back-to-front ratio of the diode
with an ohmmeter or use the diode test function on a DMM.
If it is high, the diode is OK. If it is not high, disconnect one
end of the diode and recheck the back-to-front ratio. If the
ratio is now high, the diode is probably OK. If you are still
suspicious of the diode for any reason, the ultimate test is to
replace it with a known good one.
10. Connect a diode in series between the alternator and the
battery for the recreational vehicle. The diode arrow points
from the alternator to the RV battery. This way, the alternator can charge the vehicle battery. When the engine is
off, the diode is open, preventing the RV battery from
discharging.
11. Use a voltmeter or oscilloscope for a diode in the circuit. Use
an ohmmeter, DMM or curve tracer when the diode is out of

3-20. The diode voltage will be 5 V, and it should burn open the
diode.
3-21. The diode is shorted, or the resistor is open.
3-22. The voltage of 3 V at the junction of R1 and R2 is normal if it is a voltage divider with nothing in parallel
with R2. So, the problem is in the parallel branch. A
reading of 0 V at the diode resistor junction indicates
either a shorted resistor (not likely) or an open diode.
A solder bridge could cause the resistor to appear to be
shorted.

diode.

IR = ISL + IS
5 μA = ISL + IS(old)
ISL = 5 μA – IS(old)
100 μA = ISL + IS(new)
IS(new) = 2(ΔT/10) IS(old) (Eq. 2-6)
Substitute formulas 2 and 5 into formula 4.
100 μA = 5 μA –IS(old) + 2(ΔT/10)IS(old)
Put in the temperature values.
100 μA = 5 μA –IS(old) + 2[(100ºC – 25ºC)/10]IS(old)
Move the 5 μA to the left side, and simplify the
exponent of 2.
95 μA = – IS(old) + 27.5 IS(old)
Combine like terms.
95 μA = (27.5– 1)IS(old)
95 μA = (180.02) IS(old)
Solve for the variable.
IS(old) = 95 μA/(180.02)
IS(old) = 0.53 μA
Using formula 3:
13. ISL = 5 μA – IS(old)
14. ISL = 5 μA – 0.53 μA

This condition will not occur if the diode is normal. It can
be either opened or shorted. If it is shorted, the resistance
would be 0 Ω. If it is open, it would be the resistance of
the resistors.
Solution: The circuit would have R1 and R2 in parallel,
and the parallel resistance in series with R3.
R = [(R1)(R2)]/(R1 + R2)
(Parallel resistance formula)
R = [(30 kΩ)(10 kΩ)]/(30 kΩ + 10 kΩ)
R = 7.5 kΩ
RT = 5 kΩ + 7.5 kΩ
RT = 12.5 kΩ
9. When you need a high dc output voltage from the power
supply, but a step-up transformer is neither available nor
practical in the design.
11. Because a transformer with a high turns ratio produces a few
thousand volts, which means more insulation and expense.
13. There is probably a short in the circuit that caused excessive
current through the resistor. You have to look at the schematic
diagram and test the different components and wiring to try
to locate the real trouble.
PROBLEMS
4-1.
Answer: The resistance would be 12.5 kΩ if the diode is
open and 0 Ω if the diode is shorted.
3-33. During normal operation, the 15-V power supply is supplying power to the load. The left diode is forward-biased
and allows the 15-V power supply to supply current
to the load. The right diode is reversed-based because
15 V is applied to the cathode and only 12 V is applied to
the anode. This blocks the 12-V battery. Once the 15-V
power supply is lost, the right diode is no longer reversedbiased, and the 12-V battery can supply current to the
load. The left diode will become reverse-biased, preventing any current from going into the 15-V power supply.

Vdc = 0.636(18.85 V)
Vdc = 11.99 V
Answer: The dc voltage is 11.99 V.
4-30. Answer: With one diode open, one path for current flow
is unavailable. The output will look similar to a halfwave rectifier with a capacitor input filter. The dc voltage
should not change much from the original 18.85 V, but
the ripple will increase to approximately double because
the frequency drops from 120 to 60 Hz.

4-36. Given:
DC voltage 15 V
R1 = 1 kΩ

Vout = 4(1186.6 V)
Vout = 4746.4 V
Output waveform for Prob. 4-39.
4-40. Answer: The output will be 2VP or Vp-p, which is 40 V. If
the second approximation is used, the maximum for the
clamp will be 39.3 V instead of 40 V, and since there is
also a diode voltage drop, the output would be 38.6 V.

Since each resistor is in the same current path and both
have the same value, they equally divide the voltage.
Since they both have a capacitor input filter, they divide
the peak voltage.

connected to the right side of the bridge is a positive
10.6 V and the load connected to the left side is a
negative 10.6 V.

4-47. Answer: The signal is a sine wave, and thus the shape of
the curve is a function of sine. The formula for the instantaneous voltage at any point on the curve is V = Vp sin θ.
Using this formula, calculate the values for each point on
the curve, add all 180 of the 1° points together and divide
by 180.

With the switch in the shown position, it is a bridge rectifier with a capacitor input filter. Thus the output voltage
would be 21.21 V.
With the switch in the other position, it is a full-wave
rectifier with a capacitor input filter. Since it is a centertapped transformer, the peak voltage is half.
VP = 10.6 VP
The output would be 10.6 V.
Answer: With the switch in the shown position, 21.21 V;
with the switch in the other position, 10.6 V.
4-49. Answer: Both capacitors will charge to approximately
56 mV with opposite polarities. Vout will equal 56 mV –
56 mV. Vout will equal zero volts.
4-50. Fault 1—Since the load voltage is 0.636 of the peak voltage, the capacitor input filter is not doing its job; thus
the capacitor is bad.
Fault 2—Since the load voltage dropped a little and the
ripple doubled, one of the diodes is open; this causes
the frequence of the ripple to drop to half, which in
turn causes the ripple to double.
Fault 3—Since V1 is zero, the fuse must be blown. Since
the load resistance is zero, the load resistor is shorted.
This caused the excessive current in the secondary,
which fed back to the primary and blew the fuse.
Fault 4—Since V2 is good and all other voltages are bad,
the transformer and fuse are good. R and C are good:
thus either all four diodes opened (not likely) or there
is an open in the ground circuit.
Fault 5—Since V1 is zero, the fuse must be blown.
Fault 6—The load resistor is open. No current is drawn,
and thus there is no ripple.
Fault 7—Since V1 is good and V2 is bad, the transformer
is the problem.
Fault 8—Since V1 is zero, the fuse must be blown. Since
the capacitor reads zero, the capacitor is shorted. This
caused the excessive current in the secondary, which
fed back to the primary and blew the fuse.
Fault 9—Since the load voltage is 0.636 of the peak voltage, the capacitor input filter is not doing its job and
thus the capacitor is bad.

(Voltage divider formula)
VL = [1.5 kΩ/(470 Ω + 1.5 kΩ)]24 V

5-22. Answer: From the previous problem, the only trouble that

Answer: Any similar design as long as the zener voltage
is 6.8 V and the series resistance is less than 440 Ω, to
provide the desired maximum output current, and greater
than 90 Ω, if a 1N4736A is used to prevent overcurrent if
it becomes unloaded. The load resistance does not need
to be specified because, as a power supply, the load resistance can vary. The only load parameter that is necessary
is maximum current, and it is given.

Zener regulator for Prob. 5-31.
5-32. Given: VLED = 1.5 to 2 V
ILED = 20 mA
VS = 5 V
Imax = 140 mA
Solution:
RS = [(VS – VLED(min))/ILED]
RS = [(5 V – 1.5 V)/20 mA]
RS = 175 Ω
Answer: Same as Fig. 5-20 with resistor values of 175 Ω,
which limits each branch to a maximum of 20 mA and a
total of 140 mA.
5-33. Given:
VLine = 115 V ac ± 10%
VSec = 12.6 V ac
R2 = 560 Ω ± 5%
RZ = 7 Ω
VZ = 5.1 V ± 5%
Solution: To find the maximum zener current, the maximum secondary voltage, the minimum zener voltage,
and the minimum resistance of R2 must be found. If the
line voltage varies by 10 percent, the secondary voltage
should also vary by 10 percent.
VSec(max) = VSec + VSec (10%)
VSec(max) = 12.6 V ac + 12.6 V ac (10%)
VSec(max) = 13.86 V ac
VP = 1.414 V ac
VP = 1.414 (13.86 V ac)
VP = 19.6 V
VZ = 5.1 V ± 5%
VZ = 5.1 V – [(5.1 V) (5%)]
VZ = 4.85 V
R2 = 560 Ω ± 5%
R2 = 560 Ω – [(560 Ω ) (5%)]
R2 = 532 Ω
The circuit can be visualized as a series circuit with a
19.6 V power supply, a 532 Ω R2, a 7 Ω RZ, and a 4.85 V
zener diode.
IS = (VS – VZ)/(RS + RZ)
(Eq. 5-13)
IS = (19.6 V – 4.85 V)/(532 Ω + 7 Ω )
IS = 27.37 mA
Answer: The maximum diode current is 27.37 mA.
5-34. Given:
VSec = 12.6 V ac
VD = 0.7 V
I1N5314 = 4.7 mA
ILED = 15.6 mA
IZ = 21.7 mA
C = 1000 μF ± 20%
fin = 60 Hz
Solution: The dc load current is the sum of all of the
loads.
I = I1N5314 + ILED + IZ
I = 4.7 mA + 15.6 mA + 21.7 mA
I = 42 mA
fout = 2fin
(Eq. 4-7)
fout = 2(60 Hz)
fout = 120 Hz
likely cause of that is overcurrent. The only device
that could short and cause the zener to burn open is RS.
5-37. Troubles:
5. Open at A. Since all the voltages are zero, the power
must not be getting to the circuit.
6. Open RL, an open between B and C, or an open
between RL and ground. To solve this problem, the
second approximation must be used. With the load
resistor operating normally, only part of the total current flows through the zener, which causes the 0.3-V
increase from its nominal voltage. But when the load
resistor opens, all the total current flows through the
diode, causing the voltage drop across the internal
resistance to increase to 0.5 V.
7. Open at E. Since the voltages at B, C, and D are
14.2 V, which is the voltage that would be present if
the circuit were just a voltage divider with no zener
diode, suspect something in the diode circuit. Since
the diode reads OK, that only leaves an open in the
return path.
8. The zener is shorted or a short from B, C, or D to
ground. Since the voltages at B, C, and D are 0, and A
is 18 V, this could be caused by an open RS or a short
from B, C, or D to ground. Since the diode reads 0 Ω ,
it confirms that the fault is a short.
The minimum capacitance will give the maximum ripple.
C = 1000 μF ± 20%
C = 1000 μF – 1000 μF (20%)
C = 800 μF
5-38. RS is open
VR = I/(fC)
(Eq. 4-10)
VR = 42 mA/(120 Hz)(800 μF)
VR = 0.438 V
5-41. RL is shorted
Answer: The maximum ripple voltage will be 0.438 V.
5-35. Given:
VS = 6 V ac
VD = 0.25 V
Solution:
VP(in) = 1.414 Vrms
VP(in) = 1.414 (6 V ac)
VP(in) = 8.48 V
VP(out) = VP(in) – 0.5 V
(Eq. 4-8; the 1.4 was changed
to reflect using Schottky diodes)
VP(out) = 7.98 V
Answer: The voltage at the filter capacitor is 7.98 V.
5-36. Troubles:
1. Open RS, since there is voltage at A and no voltage at
B; also could be a short from B or C to ground.
2. Open between B and D or an open at E. Since the
voltages at B and C are 14.2 V, which is the voltage
that would be present if the circuit were just a
voltage divider with no zener diode, suspect something
in the diode circuit. Since the diode is good, it is either
an open between B and D or an open at E.
3. The zener is open. Since the voltages at B and C are
14.2 V, which is the voltage that would be present if
the circuit were just a voltage divider with no zener
diode, suspect something in the diode circuit. Since
the diode reads an open, it is bad.
4. RS shorted, which caused the zener to open. With all
the voltages at 18 V, the problem could be an open in
the return path. But the zener is open, and the most

JOB INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
2. The collector current changes only slightly, if at all.
4. Emitter-feedback bias and collector-feedback bias. They
were developed in an attempt to stabilize the Q point against
transistor replacement and temperature changes.
6. No. Saturation and cutoff.
7. Changes in current gain will change the collector current.
The base resistors should be made smaller to satisfy the condition described in the text.
10. The circuit will be highly sensitive to changes in current gain.

d. Increase: IC remains the same, RC increases, the voltage drop across the collector resistor increases, and VC
increases.
e. Increase: Since VBE does not increase in proportion
to the increase in voltage supply, as do VB and VEE,
the voltage drop across the emitter resistor increases,
causing IE to increase. This causes the voltage drop
across the collector resistor to increase and VC to
increase.
f. Remain the same: βdc does not affect IC. Therefore the
voltage drop across RC does not change, nor does VC.
7-32. a. The approximate collector voltage is 12 V when R1 is
open due to no collector current.
b. The approximate collector voltage is 2.93 V when
R2 is open, the transistor is in saturation. CEB can be
approximated as a short.
c. The approximate collector voltage is 12 V when RE is
open due to no collector current.
d. The approximate collector voltage is 0.39 V when RC
is open. The collector current is zero, therefore the
base current is equal to the emitter current. The circuit
becomes a voltage divider of 150 Ω and 33 Ω driving
10 Ω through the base-emitter diode. Thevenize the
base voltage divider to get a VTH = 2.16 V and a RTH =
27 V Ω. This Thevenin circuit has a load of 10 Ω and
a diode. Now solve for a current of 39.57 mA, which
leads to an emitter voltage of 395 mV.
e. The approximate collector voltage is 12 V when the
collector-emitter is open due to no collector current.
7-33. a. If R1 is open, the base voltage increases to 10 V and
the transistor cuts off. Therefore, the collector voltage
is zero.
b. If R2 is open, the transistor goes into saturation, similar to the preceding problem. Again, you can approximate the saturated transistor as a CEB short; that is,
all three terminals shorted. Then, 10 kΩ is in parallel with 3.6 kΩ, which is 2.65 kΩ. This is in series
with 1 kΩ and 10 V. The series current is 10 V divided
by 3.65 kΩ, or 2.74 mA. Multiply by 2.65 kΩ to get
7.26 V, the approximate value of collector voltage.
c. With RE open, there is no collector current and the collector voltage is zero.
1-33
d. With RC open, the transistor has no collector current.
Similar to the preceding problem, the circuit becomes
a voltage divider driving the emitter resistor through
the base-emitter diode. The Thevenin voltage and
resistance facing the base-emitter diode are 1.8 V and
1.8 kΩ. The current through the emitter resistor is
(1.8 V – 0.7 V) divided by (1.8 kΩ + 1 kΩ), or
0.393 mA. Multiply by 1 kΩ to get 0.393 V for the
voltage across the emitter resistor. Subtract this from
10 V to gel 9.6 V at the emitter node. Subtract 0.7 V to
get 8.9 V at the base node. Add 0.7 V to get the voltage at the collector node. The final answer is therefore
9.4 V at the collector when RC is open. If you don’t
believe it, build the circuit and measure the collector
voltage with the collector resistor open.
e. When the collector-emitter terminals are open, there
is no collector current and the collector voltage is
zero.

Trouble 8: R2 is shorted.
7-54. Answer:
Trouble 9: Since the base voltage is 1.1 V, it appears that
the voltage divider is working but not properly. The emitter voltage is 0.7 V less than the base, so the emitterbase junction is working. If RC is open, the meter would
complete the circuit and give a low voltage reading. The
trouble is an open RC.
Trouble 10: This is very similar to trouble 9 except that
the collector voltage is 10 V. Since source voltage is
read above an open, the trouble is an open collector-base
junction.
7-55. Answer:
Trouble 11: Since all the voltages are 0 V, the power
supply is not working.
Trouble 12: With the emitter voltage at 0 V and the base
voltage at 1.83 V, the emitter-base diode of the transistor
is open.

7-56. R2 is shorted
ILED ≈ IE
7-57. RC is shorted
Answer: The LED current is 27.5 mA.
7-58. RE is shorted
7-48. Given:
RE = 51 kΩ
R1 = 3.3R2; this ratio is necessary to prevent moving the
Q point. Assume βdc = 100
Solution:
R1 || R2 < 0.01 βdcRE
(Eq. 7-12)
R1 || R2 = 0.01(100)(51 kΩ)
R1 || R2 = 51 kΩ
Since R2 is the smaller of the two resistors, make it 51 kΩ.
Then the parallel resistance will not be higher than 51 kΩ,
which satisfies the requirement.
R1 = 3.3R2
R1 = 3.3(51 kΩ)
R1 = 168.3 kΩ
Answer: R1 maximum of 168.3 kΩ, R2 maximum of
51 kΩ, and the ratio between them 3.3:1.
7-49. Answer: With VB at 10 V and R2 is good, the trouble is R1
shorted.
7-50. Answer: Since VB is 0.7 V and VE is 0 V, the trouble is RE
is shorted.
7-51. Answer:
Trouble 3: Since VC is 10 V and VE is 1.1 V, the transistor is good. Therefore the trouble is RC, which is shorted.
Trouble 4: Since all the voltages are the same, the trouble
is that all the transistor terminals are shorted together.
7-52. Answer:
Trouble 5: Since VB is 0 V, it is either R1 open or R2
shorted. R2 is OK, so the trouble is R1 open.
Trouble 6: R2 is open.
7-53. Answer:
Trouble 7: Since VC is 10 V, there is an open below it or a
short above it. A shorted RC would not affect VB; therefore
1-36
there must be an open below it. If the transistor is open, VB
would be 0 V; therefore the trouble is an open RE.

CRITICAL THINKING
Av = rc/re
Av = 2.65 kΩ/180 Ω
Av = 14.7
8-35. Answer: The capacitor has a certain amount of leakage
current, and this current will flow through the resistor and
create a voltage drop across the resistor.
zin = R1 || R2 || βre
zin = 10 kΩ || 2.2 kΩ || 18 kΩ
zin = 1.64 kΩ
8-36. Answer: A wire has a very small inductance value. As
the frequency increases, the inductive reactance starts
to become significant. The wires connected to the
capacitor and the leads will start to have an inductive
reactance, causing the voltage to rise at the node.

R2 = 4.4 kΩ
RC = 7.2 kΩ
RE = 2 kΩ
RL = 20 kΩ
VCC = 10 V
VBE = 0.7 V
Trouble 2: Since the input voltage increased to 0.75 mV,
the problem is an open RE.
Trouble 3: Since there are no ac voltages and the base
voltage has changed, the problem is in the input circuit.
Since there is a 0.7 V drop across the BE diode, the transistor should be conducting and thus the collector voltage
should be less than 10 V. It appears that the BC diode is
open, except the base voltages are not consistent with that
problem. To make this problem correct for the BC diode
open, return VB, VE, and vb to the OK values.
Solution:
VBB = [R2/(R1 + R2)]VCC
(Eq. 7-4)
VBB = [4.4 kΩ/(20 kΩ + 4.4 kΩ)]10 V
VBB = 1.8 V
Trouble 4: Since the dc base voltage is 0 and there is an
ac base voltage, the problem is an R1 open.

Trouble 6: Since there are no ac voltages and the base
voltage has changed, the problem is in the input circuit.
The voltage points to an open R2.
8-41. Answers:
Trouble 7: All the dc voltages are OK; thus the transistor
and resistors are OK. Since the base and emitter ac
voltages are the same, the problem appears to be an open
bypass capacitor C3.
Trouble 8: Since there are no ac voltages and the base
voltage has changed, the problem is in the input circuit.
Since the collector voltage is so low, the collector resistor
is open.

vin = 0.626 mV
vout = Av(vin)
vout = 116(0.626 mV)
vout = 72.6 mV
Answer: The output voltage is 72.6 mV.
8-40. Answers:
Trouble 1: Since all the ac voltages are 0, the problem
could be the generator, RG open, or C1 open.
1-42
Trouble 10: Since the emitter voltage is 0 and the base
voltage is near normal, the problem is an open BE diode.
Trouble 11: With all the dc voltages the same, the
problem is a shorted transistor in all three terminals.
Trouble 12: Since all the ac voltages are 0, the problem
could be the generator, RG open, or C1 open.

JOB INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
5. Voltage gain is always less than but usually near 1. The circuit is used as a current or power amplifier. Applications
include stereo output stages, linear power-supply regulation,
and drivers for relays, LEDs.
7. They allow excellent impedance matching and maximum
power transfer to low-impedance loads.
11. None.
12. Power gain is the product of voltage gain and current gain.
Although the voltage gain is slightly less than 1, the current
gain is very large. Therefore, the power gain is very large.

CRITICAL THINKING
10-48. Answer: The input is larger than the maximum allowed
input for an undistorted output. The input is driving the
output into saturation, clipping the wave off, and turning
it into a square wave.
10-49. Answer: Electrically, it would be safe to touch, but it may
be hot and cause a burn.
10-50. Answer: No, the maximum efficiency of anything is
100 percent. It is impossible to get more power out of a
device than is put into the device.
10-51. Answer: No, the ac load line is more vertical because the
ac collector resistance is usually less than the dc collector resistance. If the collector had an inductor instead of
a resistor, the ac resistance would be greater than the dc
resistance and make the ac load line less vertical.
10-52. Given:
IC(sat) = 16.67 mA
(from Prob. 10-1)
VCC = 15 V
ICQ = 9.77 mA
(from Prob. 10-2)
MP = ICQ rc = 5.31 V
(from Prob. 10-3)
VCEQ = 6.21 V
(from Prob. 10-3)
Solution:
The left side of the dc load line is IC(sat), and the right side
is VCC. The Q point is ICQ, VCEQ. The ac load line passes
through the Q point. The right side of the ac load line is
ICQ rc above the Q point, or 11.52 V. This gives the line
a slope of ICQ/ICQ rc = 9.77 mA/5.31 V = 1.84 mA/V. To
find the ac saturation current, take the ac voltage maximum multiplied by the slope = (11.52 V) (1.84 mA/V) =
21.2 mA.

JOB INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
7. The gate can be triggered using the static electricity of the
human hand to put the device into saturation briefly, enough
to trigger another circuit, such as a one-shot multivibrator.
10. It has low input capacitance that allows it to amplify higher frequencies (VHF and UHF) than are possible with a CS amplifier.
11. Although they do not have as much voltage gain as bipolar
transistors, they have a high input impedance and very low
noise. This is preferred in applications in which the incoming
signal may be a few microvolts to be followed by an amplification of a million or more.

RDS = 2 V/10 mA
RDS = 200 Ω
With VGS at –10 V the JFET is cut off and appears as an

RDS = 600 Ω
With VGS at –10 V the JFET is cut off and appears as an
open; thus vin = 0 mVp-p.
With VGS at 0 V, the JFET is conducting and a voltage
divider is created with the output resistance.
vout = [RD/(RDS + Rout)]vin
vout = [33 kΩ/(600 Ω + 33 kΩ)]25 mVp-p
vout = 24.55 mVp-p
On-off ratio = vout(max)/vout(min)

Answer: Open RD.
Solution: Since VGS is 0 V, it is operating in the active
region. The JFET appears to be a current source, but
since the load is so large, the power supply cannot supply
enough voltage to produce that current and it drops into
the ohmic region and the JFET acts like resistor.

JOB INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
5. MOS technology, especially CMOS, consumes low power
and requires a small space. The result is complex circuits that
are lightweight, will last a long time on batteries, and are
suitable for solar power.
9. Because the thin insulating layer within the device is easily
destroyed by static electricity.
10. Ship or store the devices in antistatic foam material or wire
wrap around leads. Also, technicians should be grounded by
using an antistatic wrist strap, touching the chassis, or standing on antistatic (grounding) mats. Finally, use grounded soldering irons and test equipment.
11. MOSFETs have faster switching times, resulting in less time
spent in the active region, which produces higher efficiency
and reduced heat-sink requirements. MOSFETs are also
immune to thermal runaway and are easily connected in parallel for greater power dissipation.

5. The SCR remains latched once the initial stimulus is
removed; the transistor does not. This prevents silencing the
alarm by a clever burglar or destruction of the sending unit by
fire or flood, etc.
6. In every section of the field.
7. Power-handling capability: The SCR can handle the most
current, and the power FET the least current. Efficiency:
The SCR is the most efficient since the control signal can be
removed once SCR is conducting, and the power FET is the
next-most efficient since its control current is low. Control
input: The power FET and BJT are easier to control because
they can be shut off using the control input. Maximum frequency: The power FET switches the fastest.

Solution: Since the diode is open before breakover, no
current flows before the device breaks over. Thus when
the power supply reaches breakover voltage, the device
will break over.

Answer: The input voltage required to turn on the SCR
is 7.3 V.
13-8.
Answer: The highest output occurs when 0.8 V is across
the 500-Ω resistor. The current through this resistor is
0.8 V divided by 500 Ω, which equals 1.6 mA. This
1.6 mA must flow through the 3.3-kΩ resistor. The
200 μA of gate current must also flow through the
3.3-kΩ resistor. If we ignore the 200 μA on the grounds
that it is much smaller than 1.6 mA, we get an approximate
answer of:
V = 0.8 V + (1.6 mA)(3.3 kΩ) = 6.08 V
If we include the 200 μA, we get a slightly larger output
voltage:
V = 0.8 V + (1.6 mA + 200 μA)(3.3 kΩ) = 6.74 V

Answer: The load current is 11.1 μA.
15-17. Answer: With the open base, the right transistor will go
into cutoff and its collector voltage will go high. Since
there is still a path for current through the left transistor,
it will conduct hard and its collector voltage will go low.
Thus the output will be high and the input will have little
effect. A diff amp or an op amp needs a current path to
ground for both bases.

JOB INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
9. The LM318 is preferable when slew-rate distortion is too
high with a 741C. Applications include high-frequency
(wideband) video signals, in which a low slew rate produces
a smeared picture, and digital interface circuits, in which timing slew would be objectionable. A disadvantage is that the
LM318 is more likely to break into oscillation unless good
design and construction practices are used.

5. The problem is that the output is drawing too much current from the op amp. The circuit can be redesigned using a
higher-power op amp or a current booster.
8. The output is weighted, that is, proportional to the weighted
sum of the inputs.
9. Refer to Fig. 18-35. To modify the circuit for a dc response,
accept a dc offset and correct it later, or use two batteries as a
split supply.
10. Use an emitter follower on the output or employ a Class-B
stage for bidirectional amplification.
11. Because of the high open-loop voltage gain of the op amp,
the slightest input voltage immediately biases one of the
output transistors. In effect, the knee voltage is divided by the
open-loop gain.

PROBLEMS
18-1.
17-35. Answer:

R5 = 75 kΩ
Solution:
First stage:
Trouble 3: The trouble is a shorted R4.
17-36. Answer:
Trouble 4: Since the output of the first stage is very high,
the trouble is an open R2.
Av = –R2/R1
Av = –20 MΩ/10 MΩ
Av = –2
Trouble 5: Since there is voltage at F and not at G, the
trouble is an open between F and G.
Trouble 6: Since there is voltage at F and not at E, the
trouble is an open R3.
Second stage:
Av = –R4/R3
Av = –15 kΩ/15 kΩ
Av = –1
17-37. Answer:
Trouble 7: Since there is voltage at A and not at B, the
trouble is an open between A and B.
Av = –R5/R3
Av = –75 kΩ/15 kΩ
Av = –5
Trouble 8: Since the second stage has no gain, the trouble
is a shorted R3.

Av = (–2)(–1)
Av = 2 for the switch position pointing to R4
Trouble 9: The trouble is R4 open.
Av = (–5)(–2)

B(min) = 0.0196
H(min) = 2B(min) Vsat
(Eq. 20-9)
H(min) = 2(0.0196)(13.5 V)
H(min) = 0.529 V
Answer: The minimum hysteresis is 0.529 V.
20-44. Given:
LTP = 3.5 V
UTP = 4.75 V
vin(peak) = 10 V
Vsat = 12 V
Solution:
vin = vin(peak) sinθ
θ = arcsin(vin/vin(peak))
θ = arcsin(3.5 V/10 V)
θ = 21° and 159°
20-41. Given:
R1 = 33 kΩ
R2 = 3.3 kΩ
C = 47 μF
Vripple = 1 Vrms
Solution:
fC = 1/[2π(R1 || R2)C]
(from Fig. 20-11)
fC = 1/[2π(33 kΩ || 3.3 kΩ)47 μF]
fC = 1.1 Hz
The power supply ripple is 120 Hz because rectification.
This is 2 decades above the cutoff frequency. Since there
is one capacitor, the roll-off is 20 dB/decade. The input is
attenuated by 40 dB, equivalent to 0.01.
3.3 kΩ
(1V) = 0.1V
vtb = ______________
33 kΩ + 3.3 kΩ
vout = (0.01)(0.1 V) = 0.001 V
Answer: The cutoff frequency is 1.1 Hz, and the ripple
voltage at the inverting input is 0.001 Vrms.
20-42. Given:
VCC = 15 V
R1 = 33 kΩ
R2 = 3.3 kΩ
vin(peak) = 5 V
vref = 1.36 V
R2(max) = 68 kΩ + 5%(68 kΩ) = 71.4 kΩ
R2(min) = 68 kΩ – 5%(68 kΩ) = 64.6 kΩ
vin = vin(peak) sinθ
θ = arcsin(vin/vin(peak))
θ = arcsin(4.75 V/10 V)
θ = 28° and 152°
The output will be high from 21° to 28° and from 152° to
159°, or a total of 14°
D = conduction angle/360°
D = 14°/360°
D = 3.9%
Answer: The duty cycle is 0.039 or 3.9%.
20-45. Given: With Eq. (20-13), the output voltage at the end of
the pulse is
V = [(1 ms)/(1 kΩ)(10 μF)](5 V) = 0.5 V
C = (T/RV)Vin
C = [(1 ms)/(1 kΩ)(10 V)](5 V) = 0.5 μF
The foregoing is for T = 1 ms. Therefore, we need
0.05 μF for T = 0.1 ms and 5 μF for T = 10 ms.
(from Prob. 20-9)
θ = 16° and 164°
(from Prob. 20-9)
D = 41%
(from Prob. 20-9)
Solution:
Ihigh = V/R
Ihigh = 5 V/1 kΩ
Ihigh = 5 mA
Since the output is high only 41% of the time, the average
current is:
Iave = DIhigh
Iave = (0.41)(5 mA)
Iave = 2.05 mA
Answer: The average current is 2.05 mA.
20-43. Given:
R1 = 1.5 kΩ ± 5%
R2 = 68 kΩ ± 5%
Vsat = 13.5 V

5 μF. Also, cascade an inverter to get a positive-going
output.
20-46. Given:
f = 20 kHz
R1 = 33 kΩ
R2 = 4.7 kΩ
Solution:
B = R1/(R1 + R2)
(Eq. 19-6)
B = 33 kΩ/(33 kΩ + 4.7 kΩ)
B = 0.875
T = 1/f
T = 1/20 kHz
T = 50 μs
T = 2RCln[(1 + B)/(1 − B)]
(Eq. 20-18)
C = T/2Rln[(1 + B)/(1 − B)]
C = 50 μs/2(2 kΩ)ln[(1 + 0.875)/(1 − 0.875)]
C = 4.6 nF
Answer: Change the capacitor to 4.7 nF.
Solution:
R1(max) = 1.5 kΩ + 5%(1.5 kΩ) = 1575 Ω
R1(min) = 1.5 kΩ – 5%(1.5 kΩ) = 1425 Ω
1-113
20-47. Given:
R1 = 2.2 kΩ
R2 = 82 kΩ
Vsat = 14 V
Solution:
UTP = (R1/R2) Vsat
(Eq. 20-10)
UTP = (2.2 kΩ/82 kΩ)14 V
UTP = 0.376 V
H = 2 UTP = 0.751 V
R1 = 1/0.751 (2.2 kΩ) = 2.93 kΩ
Use nearest standard value of 3 kΩ.
To increase hysteresis to 1 V, increase R1 by a factor of
1 V/0.751 V, to get R1 ≅ 3 kΩ. For a safety factor, use
R1 = 3.3 kΩ.

5. The monostable timer has pins 6 and 7 connected together
and is externally triggered, whereas the astable timer has
a resistor between pins 6 and 7 and requires no external
trigger.
8. There must be an unwanted positive feedback path between
the output and the input of the three-stage amplifier. Lowfrequency oscillations may be caused by the high powersupply impedance. You can try using a large filter capacitor at
the supply point for each stage. If this docs not work, then
a power supply with better regulation is needed. For highfrequency oscillations, you can try shielding the stages, using
a single ground point, filter capacitors on each stage supply,
and ferrite beads on each base or gate lead.

21-29c. Same. The upper potentiometer affects frequency, not
output voltage.
Solution:
XC = 1/(2πfC)
XC = 1/[2π (15.9 kHz)(0.001 μF)]

ϕ = −45°
Below its critical frequency, the op amp has 180° of
phase shift. At 15.9 kHz, the op amp has an additional
phase shift of 90° because it is well above its critical frequency. This means that the op amp has approximately
270° of phase shift at 15.9 kHz. Each lag circuit has a
phase shift of 45° at 15.9 kHz. Therefore, the total or
loop phase shift is 270° plus 45° plus 45°, or 360°.

22-32. Given:
Vout = 10 V
VBE = 0.7 V
R4 = 1 Ω
K = 0.70
Solution:
ISL = VBE/KR4
ISL = 0.7 V/0.70 (1 Ω)
ISL = 1 A
Imax = ISL + [(1 − K)Vout]/KR4
Imax = 1 A + [(1 − 0.70)10 V]/0.70(1 Ω)
Imax = 5.29 A
Answer: The shorted load current is 1 A, and the maximum current is 5.29 A.
22-33. Given:
R5 = 7.5 kΩ
R6 = 1 kΩ
R7 = 9 kΩ
C3 = 0.001 μF
Solution:
B = R7/(R6 + R7)
B = 9 kΩ/(1 kΩ + 9 kΩ)
B = 0.9
T = 2RCln[(1 + B)/(1 − B)]
(Eq. 20-18)
T = 2(7.5 kΩ)(0.001 μF)ln[(1 + 0.9)/(1 − 0.9)]
T = 44.16 μs
f = 1/T
f = 1/44.16 μs

22-34. Given:
VZ = 4.7 V
R1(mid) = 1250 Ω
R2(mid) = 1250 Ω
Solution:
Vout(mid) = [(R1(mid) + R2(mid))/R1(mid)]VZ
(Eq. 22-14)
Vout(mid) = [(1250 Ω + 1250 Ω)/1250 Ω]4.7 V
Vout(mid) = 9.2 V
Answer: The output voltage is 9.2 V.
22-35. Answer: Since the voltage at D is stuck low, the trouble is
the triangle-to-pulse converter.
22-36. Answer: Since the voltage at A is stuck low, the trouble is
the relaxation oscillator.
22-37. Answer: Since the voltage at D is high, the voltage at E
should be 12.8 V, but since it is 0 V, the trouble is Q1.
22-38. Answer: Since the voltage at C is stuck low, the trouble is
the integrator.
22-39. Answer: Since the voltage at A is stuck high, the trouble
is the relaxation oscillator.
22-40. Answer: Since the voltage at E is higher than the desired
output of 5 V, the transistor should be off more of the
time. Thus the output of the comparator should be high.
But because it is low, the problem is the comparator.
22-41. Answer: Since the voltage at D is stuck at 0 V, the trouble
is the triangle-to-pulse converter.
22-42. Answer: Since the voltage at E is low, the output of the
comparator should be low. But because it is high, the
trouble is the comparator.
22-43. Answer: The voltage at D is stuck high, since the output
of the comparator is high, as it should be, given the voltage at E. The trouble is the triangle-to-pulse converter.
