CMOS Circuits

Bipolar Junction Transistors

Id=Is(eVdVt−1)

Vr=Vp−VonRCT or Vr=Vp−VonfRC Where T is the period and f=1T

Rectifiers

Reduce Ripple Voltage

ΔT is the charging time of the capacitor or the diode conduction interval

ΔT=1ω2∗VrVp

ΔT=54T−t1

  1. T≫ΔT
  2. RC≫(T−ΔT)
    Investigate further

V1=(Vp−Von)−Vr=Von(t=t1)

Il(t)=Vo(t)R so Il(t)max=Vo(t)maxR

When RC is very large, Il,min≃Il,max
TRC≃0 when RC≫T

Semiconductors

Semiconductor Discussion

Silicon has 14 electrons in it's standard configuration, it's outer shell is the most critical. With 8 electrons on outer shell, Silicon is stable

Intrinsic Semiconductors

n=p=ni=BT32e−Eg2kt

n is number of electrons per cm3
p is number of holes per cm3
T is the temperature in Kelvin
B is the material property

For silicon, ni≃1.5∗1010
