    PREFACE

    The branch of engineering which deals with current conduction through a vacuum or gas or semiconductor is known as electronics.

    This electronics essentially deals with electronic devices and their utilization. An electronic device is that in which current flows through a vaccum or gas or semiconductor. Such devices have valuable properties which enable them to function and behave as the friend of man today.

    Electronic devices are being used in almost all the industries for quality control and automation. Before handling these devices and some instruments, we have to follow some precautions.

    They are as follows: Safety Precautions: CRO: An cathode Ray oscilloscope is an instrument capable of presenting a luminous xy graph of any two related electrical parameters

    Do not place objects on the top of CRO Do not insert wires or pins into ventilation holes. Do not pull the instrument by probes Never place a soldering iron on the oscilloscope frame. Do not turn the focus & intensity knob to maximum position these should be in

    middle position. Do not apply signals which exceed 400v peak 1KHZ

    Function Generator: It is an electronic device which is used to produce signals such as sine wave, square wave, and triangular wave, saw tooth wave.

    Frequency fine & course knob should be in minimum position. We should select only one of frequency range & required wave forms of

    function generator. Attenuation knob should be in released position. Do not pull & Do not place any objects on the top of function generator

  • 3

    RPS: It means regulated power supply. It produce DC voltage of range from 0 to 30v, 50v etc.

    Initially voltage fine & course knob should be in minimum position. Initially current knob should be in maximum position. All the knobs are handled by slow manner not by rough manner. Any things are not placed on top of the RPS.

    General Precautions:

    Do not touch the live terminal. Wear rubber soled shoes, when you are doing the experiment. Shut off power supply before connecting the instruments. Select proper type & range of (AC / DC) meters Do not change the +ve & -ve terminal Do not make any short circuit Safety depends upon good earthing always keep earth connections in good

    condition.

    In this lab we have some safety devices they are 1. Fuses 2. Circuit breaker.

    THEORY: A PN junction is known as a semiconductor (or) crystal diode. The outstanding property of a crystal diode is to conduct current in one direction only.

    FORWARD BIASING: When we apply forward bias across the diode,

    The potential barrier is reduced and at some forward voltage (0.1 to 0.3v) it is eliminated altogether.

    The junction offers low resistance Current flows in the circuit.

    REVERSE BIASING: To apply reverse bias, connect negative terminal of the battery to Anode and positive terminal of the battery to cathode. In this biasing.

    The potential barrier is increased. The junction offers very high resistance to current flow. No current flows in the circuit.

    THEORY: A zener diode is a special type of diode that is designed to operate in the reverse breakdown region. It is heavily doped to reduce the reverse breakdown voltage. This causes a very thin depletion layer. As a result, a zener diode has a sharp breakdown voltage Vz. In reverse bias condition two things happen when Vz is reached.

    1. The diode current increases rapidly. 2. The reverse voltage Vz across the diode remains almost constant,

    In forward biased condition, it is similar to the ordinary PN junction diode.

    3 Voltmeter 0-30v (MC) 1 4 SCR TYN 604 1 5 Bread board - 1 6 Resistors 1K / 5W 2 7 Connecting Wires - 1 set

    THEORY: A silicon controlled rectifier is a semiconductor device that acts as a true electronic switch. It can change AC into DC as like as an ordinary rectifier and at the same time it can control the amount of power fed to the load.

    FORWARD CHARACTERISTICS: When anode is positive w.r.t cathode, the curve between V-I is called forward characteristic. If the supply voltage is increased from zero, a point is reached when SCR starts conducting. Under this condition, the voltage across SCR suddenly drops and most of the voltage appears across the load resistance RL. If proper gate current is made to flow, SCR can close at much smaller supply voltage.

    REVERSE CHARACTERISTICS: When the anode is made negative w.r.t to cathode, the curve between V & I is called reverse characteristics. If the reverse voltage is increased, avalanche breakdown occurs and the SCR starts conducting heavily in reverse direction. It is similar to the ordinary PN junction diode.

    THEORY: A diac is a two terminal bidirectional semiconductor device which can be switched from OFF state to ON state for either polarity of applied voltage.

    THEORY: A light emitting diode (LED) is a diode that gives off visible light when forward biased.

    LEDs are made by elements like gallium, phosphorus and arsenic. By varying these quantities, it is possible to produce light of different wavelengths with colours that include red, yellow and blue.

    THEORY: IGBT has the combined advantage of Power MOSFET and power BJT. It has three terminals. The IGBT is a three terminal device It has a collector, an emitter like a BJT and an insulated gate as it is in a MOSFET.

    With no gate voltage applied, the IGBT is in the forward blocking mode. When a positive gate voltage greater than the threshold voltage is applied, the inversion layer is formed and the current begins to flow. Hence the device turns ON. The inversion layer cannot be maintained when the gate voltage is below the threshold voltage. To turn OFF the device, a negative voltage must be applied to the gate.

    The IGBT has low on-state voltage drop and high forward current density compared to the power BJT and MOSFET. Due to the input MOS gate structure, it requires simple drive circuit and it consumes less power.

    The VI Characteristics shows the relation between the Collector Current and the Collector-Emitter voltage, for different values of Gate-Source voltage. It is identical with the output Characteristics of the BJT. But the controlling parameter is Gate voltage rather than the base current in a BJT.

    APPLICATION: AC and DC drives. UPS Solid state relays and contactors.

    VIVA VOCE: 1. What is IGBT 2. What are the applications of IGBT? 3. Say the current rating of IGBT 4. Why is inculcated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) popular now - a days? 5. What is the control pulse of an IGBT?

    HALF WAVE RECTIFIER:

  • 63

    THEORY:

    HALF WAVE RECTIFIER: In half wave rectification, the rectifier conducts current only during the positive half cycles of input ac supply. The negative half cycles are suppressed. During positive half cycle, the diode becomes forward biased and hence half cycle. The diode is reverse biased and it conducts no current.

    FULL WAVE RECTIFIER: In full wave rectification, current flows through the load in the same direction for both half cycles of input ac voltage. This can be achieved with two diodes working alternately. For positive half cycle, one diode supplies current to the load and for the negative half cycle, the other diodes does so. In this way full wave rectifier produces dc output.

    2. CLAMPER CIRCUIT AIM: To construct and study the output waveform of Clamper Circuit.

    APPARATUS REQUIRED: S. NO. APPARATUS REQUIRED RANGE QUANTITY

    1. Diode 1N4001 1 2. Capacitor 100F/25V 1 3. CRO 0- 20 MHZ 1 4. FGR -- 1 5. Bread Board -- 1 6. Connecting Wires -- 15

    THEORY: Clamping is the process of introducing a dc level into an ac signal. Clampers are also sometimes known as dc restorers. Clamping is the process of shifting the input signal above or below the zero level. A clamping circuit should not change peak to peak value of the signal; it should only change the DC level. To do so, a clamping circuit uses a capacitor together with a diode and a resistor.

    PROCEDURE: Connections are made as shown in fig.

    Switched ON the Function generator

    Now corresponding input and output waveforms are visible at the monitor of CRO.

    Amplitude and Time of input and output waveform is measured and tabulated.

    1. Transistor BC 108 1

    2. Capacitor 0.1 f 4

    THEORY:

    It is a circuit which self generating some waveform like sine, triangular, and square wave etc.

    It is basically an amplifier circuit with positive feedback introduced.

    In this case the CE amplifier is followed by a frequency determining network. The R1, R2 combination provides dc potential divider bias and Ro, CE provides temperature stability and provides ac signal degeneration. The high pass or low pass RC - RC network may be used as positive feedback between input and output.
