ECE 250 Exam 1 - Spring 2005 - Prof. Marc E. Herniter, Exams of Electrical and Electronics Engineering

The spring 2005 exam for ece 250, which includes multiple problems related to circuit analysis, waveforms, transfer curves, and diode characteristics. Students are required to sketch waveforms, plot transfer curves, determine the units of constants, find the resistance of a device, and calculate the concentration of electrons and holes in a pn diode.

b) Sketch the transfer curve, Vo versus Vin (8 Points).

Problem 3 (25 Points):

In the homework, we saw a tunnel diode similar to the one below.

R

V1 (^) D

Over the weekend, I measured the I-V characteristic for this device and fit the following equation to measured curve:
