From this, we have that the magnitude plots match as: (b), (e), (c), (a), (d).
For the phase plot, we again split the list into first- and second-order terms. For first-order terms,
the phase plot is -45 degrees at the breakpoint. For second order terms, decreasing values of zeta
gives rise to a sharper phase transition.

2b (12 pts) In the following table, write the magnitude and phase values for H(f) for f=100Hz,
f=1000 Hz, very low f values ( f → 0 Hz ) and very high f values ( f → ∞ Hz ). These answers
only need to be within 1.5 times the correct answer (but only because of rounding errors or
sketching inaccuracies that you might have. Do not use the “straight line” approximation if it will
cause your answer will be off from the exact value by more than 1.5 times).

2c (8 pts) Sketch the Bode plot of this transfer function. Sketch BOTH the magnitude and phase
plot. Make sure to label the slopes of segments, the two break points of the transfer function, the
low frequency magnitude, the high frequency magnitude, and the highest value on the phase plot.
Be as accurate as you can, i.e., do not use the “straight line” approximation except as a starting
guide if you wish for plotting the actual transfer function.

3.(15 pts) Find the unknown values in the circuits below. For the diodes, use the “0.8V ON-
OFF” model:
If I_d < 0, then the diode is open or OFF If I_d = 0, then the diode is open or OFF If I_d >= 0, then the diode is a 0.8V source or ON If I_d > 0, then the diode is a 0.8V source or ON
a. (5 pts) Find I_a in the circuit below:
0V diode is off, 5V diode and I_a diode are on.
I_a =

b. (5 pts) Find I_b in the circuit below:
So I_b=I_1+I_2=192mA

4.(30 pts) Consider the circuit shown below, in which the RC time constant is very long
compared to the period T of the input VIN(t). Use the Ideal Diode model:
If VD < 0, then the diode is OFF and does not pass current (ID=0) If ID >= 0, then the diode is ON and VD= VD is the voltage drop across the diode and ID is current through the diode. VD =VOUT in this

(a) (8 pts) Sketch VC(t)? Label all key values. The capacitor is initially able to charge up, since V_out starts at 0V and so the diode is a short. However, the capacitor is not able to discharge through the diode since the diode is an open when reverse biased. Thus, the capacitor discharges through the resistor. Since the RC constant is large, we have either:
Or:
(b) (8 pts) Sketch VOUT(t)? Label all key values. Simple application of KVL gives that V_out = V_in – V_c. The respective sketches of V_out are:
Or:
Note the concavity of the curves above.
(c) (8 pts) Explain what is happening for different time duration.
The capacitor is initially able to charge up, since V_out starts at 0V and so the diode allows
current flow in the positive direction. However, the capacitor is not able to discharge
through the diode since the diode is an open when reverse biased. Thus, the capacitor
discharges through the resistor. Since the RC time constant is large, the capacitor will
discharge very slowly (in the limit it will not discharge at all). When V_C matches V_in,
then V_out is 0V and so the diode will again allow the capacitor to charge up. We repeat this
process.
