Question
For the circuit shown below each diode has Vγ = 0.6 V then both diode will be ON if
- (a)
v_s > 3.9 V
- (b)
v_s > 4.9 V
- (c)
v_s > 6.3 V
- (d)
v_s > 5.3 V
Solution
To determine when both diodes will be ON in the given circuit, we need to compare the input voltage (v_s) with the threshold voltage (Vγ) of the diodes.
The threshold voltage (Vγ) is given as 0.6 V for each diode.
(a) For both diodes to be ON, v_s must be greater than the sum of the threshold voltages of the diodes. Therefore, v_s > 2 * Vγ = 2 * 0.6 V = 1.2 V.
(b) Similarly, for both diodes to be ON, v_s must be greater than 2 * Vγ = 2 * 0.6 V = 1.2 V.
(c) For both diodes to be ON, v_s must be greater than 2 * Vγ = 2 * 0.6 V = 1.2 V.
(d) For both diodes to be ON, v_s must be greater than 2 * Vγ = 2 * 0.6 V = 1.2 V.
Therefore, the correct answer is (a) v_s > 3.9 V.
