Q. 2.SP.27
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.

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 <Prb2_27.CIR>, the Probe feature is used to plot the resulting i-v characteristic of Fig. 2-42, where it is seen that the nonideal diodes have resulted in shifts of the – 5 \text{V} and -10 \text{V} break points of Fig. 2-41(a) to -4.54 \text{V} and 10.61 \text{V}, respectively.
