SOLUTIONS

Sol. 1 Option (B) is correct.

For the given ideal op-amp, negative terminal will be also ground (at zero voltage)
and so, the collector terminal of the BJT will be at zero voltage.
i.e., VC = 0 volt
The current in 1 kW resistor is given by
I = 5 - 0 = 5 mA
1 kW
This current will flow completely through the BJT since, no current will flow
into the ideal op-amp ( I/P resistance of ideal op-amp is infinity). So, for BJT
we have
VC = 0
VB = 0
IC = 5 mA
i.e.,the base collector junction is reverse biased (zero voltage) therefore, the
collector current (IC ) can have a value only if base-emitter is forward biased.
Hence,
VBE = 0.7 volts
& VB - VE = 0.7
& 0 - Vout = 0.7
or, Vout =- 0.7 volt
Sol. 2 Option (A) is correct.
The i/p voltage of the system is given as
Vin = V1 + Vf = V1 + k Vout
= V1 + k A 0 V1 ^Vout = A 0 V1h
= V1 ^1 + k A 0h
Therefore, if k is increased then input voltage is also increased so, the input
impedance increases. Now, we have
Vout = A 0 V1 = A 0 Vin = A 0 Vin
^1 + k A 0h ^1 + k A 0h
Since, Vin is independent of k when seen from output mode, the output voltage
decreases with increase in k that leads to the decrease of output impedance.
Thus, input impedance increases and output impedance decreases.
Sol. 3 Option (A) is correct.
For the given circuit, we obtain the small signal model as shown in figure below :

We obtain the node voltage at V1 as

V1 + V1 + gm Vi = 0
RD R + 1
L
sC
- gm Vi
& V1 =

RD R + 1
L
sC
Therefore, the output voltage V0 is obtained as
RL J - gm Vi N
V0 = V1 RL = K 1 O
RL + 1 RL + 1 + 1
sC sC KK RD R + 1 OO
L
L sC P
so, the transfer function is
V0 = - RD RL sCgm
Vi 1 + sC ^RD + RL h
Then, we have the pole at w = 1
C ^RD + RL h
It gives the lower cutoff frequency of transfer function.
i.e., w0 = 1
C ^RD + RL h
or, f0 = 1 = 1
2pC ^RD + RL h 2p # 10-6 # 20 # 103
= 7.97 . 8 Hz
Sol. 4 Option (B) is correct.

From the circuit, we have

Is = IZ + I L
or, IZ = Is - I L (1)
Since, voltage across zener diode is 5 V so, current through 100 W resistor is
obtained as
Is = 10 - 5 = 0.05 A
100
Therefore, the load current is given by
IL = 5
RL
Since, for proper operation, we must have
IZ $ Iknes
So, from Eq. (1), we write
0.05 A - 5 $ 10 mA
RL
50 mA - 5 $ 10 mA

1 # RL
40 # 10-3 5
5 # RL
40 # 10-3
or, 125 W # RL
Therefore, minimum value of RL = 125 W
Now, we know that power rating of Zener diode is given by
PR = VZ IZ^maxh
IZ^maxh is maximum current through zener diode in reverse bias. Maximum
currrent through zener diode flows when load current is zero. i.e.,
IZ^maxh = Is = 10 - 5 = 0.05
100
Therefore, PR = 5 # 0.05 W = 250 mW
Sol. 5 Option (C) is correct.

For the given ideal op-Amps we can assume

V 2- = V 2+ = V2 (ideal)
V 1+ = V 1- = V1 (ideal)
So, by voltage division
V1 = Vout # 1
2
Vout = 2V1
and, as the I/P current in Op-amp is always zero therefore, there will be no
voltage drop across 1 KW in II op-amp
i.e., V2 = 1 V
Therefore,
V1 - V2 = V2 - ^- 2h
1 1
& V1 - 1 = 1 + 2
or, V1 = 4
Hence, Vout = 2V1 = 8 volt
Sol. 6 Option (B) is correct.

X Y Z

1 1 0
Logic 0 means voltage is v = 0 volt and logic 1 means voltage is 5 volt
For x = 0 , y = 0 , Transistor is at cut off mode and diode is forward biased. Since,
there is no drop across forward biased diode.
So, Z =Y=0
For x = 0 , y = 1, Again Transistor is in cutoff mode, and diode is forward biased.
with no current flowing through resistor.
So, Z =Y=1
For x = 1, y = 0 , Transistor is in saturation mode and so, z directly connected to
ground irrespective of any value of Y .
i.e., Z = 0 (ground)
Similarly for X = Y = 1
Z = 0 (ground)
Hence, from the obtained truth table, we get
Z =XY
Sol. 7 Option (D) is correct.
Given, the input voltage
VYZ = 100 sin wt

For + ve half cycle

VYZ > 0
i.e., VY is a higher voltage than VZ
So, the diode will be in cutoff region. Therefore, there will no voltage difference
between X and W node.
i.e., VWX = 0
Now, for - ve half cycle all the four diodes will active and so, X and W

i.e., VWX = 0
Hence, VWX = 0 for all t

and RTh = R 2 R1

input impedance Zin = Vi = Z
Ii (1 - k)
Sol. 146 Option (A) is correct.
Sol. 147 Option (A) is correct.
For the circuit, In balanced condition It will oscillated at a frequency
w= 1 = 1 = 105 rad/ sec
LC 10 # 10-3 # .01 # 10-6
In this condition
R1 = R 3
R2 R4
5 =R
100 1
R = 20 kW = 2 # 10 4 W
Sol. 148 Option (C) is correct.
V0 kept constant at V0 = 6 volt
so current in 50 W resistor
I = 9-6
50 W
I = 60 m amp

GATE SOLVED PAPER - EC ANALOG ELECTRONICS

Maximum allowed power dissipation in zener

PZ = 300 mW
Maximum current allowed in zener
PZ = VZ (IZ ) max = 300 # 10-3
& = 6 (IZ ) max = 300 # 10-3
& = (IZ ) max = 50 m amp
Given knee current or minimum current in zener
(IZ ) min = 5 m amp
In given circuit I = IZ + I L
I L = I - IZ
(IL) min = I - (IZ ) max
= (60 - 50) m amp = 10 m amp
(IL) max = I - (IZ ) min
= (60 - 5) = 55 m amp
