For the resistor and battery values of Problem 2.26, use SPICE methods to simulate the function generator circuit of Fig. 2-41(b). Implement using default diode parameters. Determine the values of input voltage v for which the two break points occur.

Question

Accepted Answer

The describing netlist code appears below:

Prb2_27.CIR
v 1 0 DC 0V
D1 1 2 DMOD
R1 2 3 6kohm
V1 0 3 DC 5V
D2 1 4 DMOD
R2 4 5 3kohm
V2 5 0 DC 10V
.DC v -10V 25V 0.25V
.MODEL DMOD D ( )
.PROBE
.END

After executing , the Probe feature is used to plot the resulting [latex]i-v[/latex] characteristic of Fig. 2-42, where it is seen that the nonideal diodes have resulted in shifts of the [latex]- 5 ext{V}[/latex] and [latex]-10 ext{V}[/latex] break points of Fig. 2-41(a) to [latex]-4.54 ext{V}[/latex] and [latex]10.61 ext{V}[/latex], respectively.
