Instruction: Use any circuit simulation tool to answer the problems below. 1. A BJT differential amplifier is biased from a 2-mA constant-current source and includes a 100-2 resistor in each emitter. The collectors are connected to +10 V via 5 k resistors. A differential input signal of 0.1 V is applied between the two bases. Assume that the transistors are matched and have ß-100 and Is=14 fA. (a) With the aid of LTSpice (or any other circuit simulation tool), determine the signal current in the emitters i, and the base-emitter voltage vibe for each BJT. (b) What is the total emitter current in each BJT? (c) What is the signal voltage at each collector? (d) What is the voltage gain realized when the output is taken between the two collectors?

5. Secondary choice of diode through cost considerations Look up your chosen diode on www.digikey.com. Suppose we make one bulk purchase and make all the bridge rectifiers we can out of it. How many circuits can we build, and how much do the diodes cost? Are there any cheaper alternatives that would still work? Provide cost estimates from the Digikey website. Digikey screenshots are needed here.
Task 2: Single-phase half-wave phase-controlled rectifier with RL load Recall Chapter 2, Make a new project. Build a single-phase half-wave phase-controlled rectifier with RL load Use the sinusoidal source in the SOURCE lib set amplitude 450V and frequency 20Hz Use the pulse voltage source in the PSpice Component and set the rising time lus, falling time /us, pulse width 100μs, low-side output voltage OV, and high-side output voltage 201 Use the load parts in the PSpice Component set resistor 50, and inductor 20mH in series. Use the thyristor in the ELEC4174_Fall_2023 library. Use the time domain simulation set up, set run to time as 50ms and maximum step size as le a. Show your schematic. b. If we have voltage pulse (gate signal) appears at 15ms, 1) Plot the voltage across the resistor and voltage across the inductor. 2) Find the conduction angle (approximately) using results in part b.1). 3) Evaluate your plots in part b.1) for maximum value for VR and the point when V₁ across 0, briefly explain with words or equations what happened there.
6. Turning the output signal into a DC signal Provide some method of turning your output waveform from (4) into a DC signal. If not perfectly DC, then at least an oscillating signal, not necessarily sinusoidal, that has a ripple voltage of 99-101 mV. Assume all the same parameters: 12 V amplitude, 60 Hz, 1 kOhm load. Hint: RC decay. Simulate your new full circuit in LTSPICE and estimate the additional cost, assuming we want to finish the same total number of circuits as in (5). SPICE plots and Digikey screenshots are needed here.
Report Show that all transistors in the circuits operate properly and in the expected modes. Show that circuits can operate without distortion. Show the gain, and if possible, the BW of the circuits. Be prepared to discuss affects of the capacitors. Compare the two versions of the Op Amp. Explain why the various results differ, or if they do not differ, why they can differ.
1) Generate the Ip vs Vps plots within the power supply limits of 0-3V, do this for gate- source voltages between zero and 3V spaced by 0.5 volts for both our default NFET and our PFET (W/L-5/0.5). This covers the full operating range of our devices. Label each trace with the VGs voltage used for each curve. For the NFET your plot should look qualitatively like this: 104 VGSI-VTH Saturation Region HLA-ESDA HLA-ESDA Vass Vosz Vast To do this you need to use a DC parameterized sweep with two loops, in one loop you are sweeping VDs and the other you are stepping VGs. To get the PFET characteristic to look like this you will need to change the signs of the some of the voltages and currents. b) Plots of the simulation results Repeat for the PFET Vos Careful: getting the PFET scans is trickier than you think, be sure that you cover the triode and saturation regions. (need the screenshots for these) Questions: For the NFET a) A legible copy of your simulation schematic, make sure it shows the device length and width a) For similar absolute values of the bias voltages the PFET and NFET drain currents are different, why? b) Observe how the slope of the curves in saturation change for different Vos. What does this imply about ro, the small signal output resistance as a function of Ves? c) What would the maximum current be if instead of a 5 micron wide device you had a 20 micron wide device?

1. Preliminary calculations for max current We will be building an AC to DC converter with our diode. Of course this will not be perfect, and there will be a so-called "ripple voltage": the peak-to-peak voltage of the wobble in the voltage waveform left over from conversion. Your task is to help me select a diode while balancing power and cost limitations. Let us introduce a 12 V amplitude AC signal at a frequency of 60 Hz-imagine we set a 14:1 transformer to take power from the wall outlet (120 V... @ 60 Hz). Also, assume the load resistance is 1 kOhm. What is, ignoring the diode forward bias voltages for now, the expected current going through the load and thus the diodes themselves? Treat this as a ballpark value for the next steps.
Task 1: Three-phase half-wave diode rectifier with R load Recall Chapter 1, Make a new project. Build a three-phase half-wave diode rectifier with R load.
