Briefly describe the operation that the circuit performs on the input waveform V i (t). 4. Do not use the gizmo; use the oscilloscope, a function generator and a voltmeter. Build the circuit of figure 4 with capacitors of 0.1 μF. Apply on V i (t) a sinewave of amplitude 10 volts (20 V peak–to–peak), frequency 200 Hz and 0–DC offset. Measure voltage V o (t) with the oscilloscope. Measure the voltage across each of the capacitors WITH A DC VOLTMETER.

Lab #3: Diodes – Circuits with capacitors

Experimental work: Use diodes 1N4148 or an equivalent (1N914). Alloscilloscope readings are done with DC coupling of the input channels unlessotherwise noted. Measurements can also be done (more conveniently) withthe Analog Discovery gizmo by Digilent. For this lab it is recommended touse the Agilent function generator to supply Vi(t).

1. Build the circuit of figure 1 with R1 = 1 kΩ, R2 = 2.2 kΩ andC = 0.1 µF. Apply on Vi(t) a square wave of amplitude 5 volts (10 Vpeak–to–peak), frequency 200 Hz and 0–DC offset. Measure the timeconstants τ1 and τ2 corresponding to the rise and the fall of the outputsignal Vo(t) (use the cursors for better accuracy).

2. Build the circuit of figure 2 with R1 = 1 kΩ, R2 = 2.2 kΩ and C =0.033 µF. Apply on Vi(t) a square wave of amplitude 5 volts (10 Vpeak–to–peak), frequency 200 Hz and 0–DC offset. Adjust the triggerto a level of approximately -2 V with a negative slope. Accuratelymeasure the minimum value of Vo(t) and the width of the triangularpulse at Vo(t) or, if you are using the Analog Discovery gizmo, exportthe data to a csv file; this can be opened in a spreadsheet.

3. Build the circuit of figure 3 with C = 0.1 µF (do not connect resistorR; this resistor is in the oscilloscope’s input circuitry). For the sourceVR, use the gizmo’s waveform generator 1 and set it to -5 V DC. Applyon Vi(t) a sinewave of amplitude 3 volts (6 V peak–to–peak), frequency200 Hz. Observe the waveform Vo(t) and its maximum values for VR =0, 1, 5 V, and when the DC offset of Vi(t) is 0, ±1, ±2 V. Repeatwith a triangular wave and a square wave at Vi(t). Briefly describe theoperation that the circuit performs on the input waveform Vi(t).

4. Do not use the gizmo; use the oscilloscope, a function generator anda voltmeter. Build the circuit of figure 4 with capacitors of 0.1 µF.Apply on Vi(t) a sinewave of amplitude 10 volts (20 V peak–to–peak),frequency 200 Hz and 0–DC offset. Measure voltage Vo(t) with theoscilloscope. Measure the voltage across each of the capacitors WITHA DC VOLTMETER.
