Procedure for analyzing Networks<br />

Additional dc supply<br />

(1) Make a mental sketch of the response of the network based on the direction of the<br />

diode and the applied voltage levels<br />

The direction of the diode suggests that the signal vi must be +ve to turn it on.<br />

The voltage vi must be greater than V volts to turn the diode “ON”.<br />

The –ve ve region of the input signal is “pressuring” pressuring the diode into the “OFF” OFF state supported<br />

further by dc supply.<br />

Here, we can be quite sure that the diode is an open circuit for –ve region of the input signal.<br />
