End Semester Examination 308EET05- ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND CIRCUITS KEY PART-A (102=20 Marks) 1.

Give the equation for diode current under reverse bias.

Where I Reverse diode current Io Reverse saturation current V Diode Voltage VT Threshold voltage 2. Draw the VI characteristics of a PN junction diode.

3. Define the different operating regions of transistor. Active region: In which transistor collector junction reverse biased and emitter junction forward biased. Cutoff region: In which both the collector and emitter junction are reverse biased. Saturation region: In which both the collector and emitter junctions are forward biased. 4. What is the use of heat sink? The heat sink is a relatively large black metallic heat conducting device placed in close contact with transistor case so that the effective surface area is increased and resistance to heat flow is decreased hence heat can be effectively discharged. 5. State the advantages of FET over the BJT. i. ii. iii. iv. FET is unipolar device FET IS less noisy than BJT It is a voltage controlled device FET has very high voltage gain.

6. Give an important reason for which N-channel FETs are preferred over P-channel FETs.

`In N- channel FETs the change carries are the electrons which have a mobility of about 1300 cm2/vs whereas in P-channel change carries are the holes which have a mobility of about 500 cm2/vs. The current in a semiconductor is directly proportional to mobility , hence the N-channel FETs is more preferred 7. Classify the different sinusoidal oscillators. i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. Hartley oscillator Colpitts oscillator Rc phase shift oscillator Wein bridge oscillator\ Clapp oscillator Crystal oscillator Sampling is the part of taking output voltage or current. The process of adding or subtracting the this sampled value to the input of the amplifier is called mixing. 9. Draw the basic diagram of positive clamping.

8. Define sampling and mixing.

10. Define Multivibrator. An electronic circuit that generates non sinusoidal signals are called as multivibrator, Normally Multi vibrator generates a square wave, it is a combination of sinusoidal waves of different frequencies hence it is named as multivibrator

(ii)What is clipper? Explain the concept of positive clipper A clipping circuit requires a minimum of two components i.e. a diode and a resistor. Often, dcbattery is also used to fix the clipping level. The input waveform can be clipped at different levels bysimply changing the battery voltage and by interchanging the position of various elements. We willuse an ideal diode which acts like a closed switch when forward-biased and as an open switch whenreverse-biased,
