Fall 2004 Quiz #1 Problem 4 (13 Points)

Name:_______________________________

After years of research, the FUBAR division of Bellyup Labs has created a new threeterminal semiconductor device that they name the Dualistor. The proposed symbol for the device is shown in Fig. 6, along with a large-signal circuit model that the Bellyup researchers tell you is valid over the range of interest.

Figure 6

The researchers at Bellyup Labs have asked your assistance in developing a small-signal circuit model for the Dualistor. Derive a small-signal circuit model for the Dualistor operating about a bias point iF = IF. Draw and label the small-signal circuit, making sure to indicate all important terminal variables and parameters.

Fall 2004 Quiz #1 Problem 5 (25 Points)

Name:_______________________________

Figure 7 shows a relay driver circuit. The low-power switch S is used to activate and deactivate the relay (which can control much more power). The relay is considered activated whenever the relay current iL exceeds 25 mA, and is deactivated otherwise. The relay is modeled as the series connection of a resistor RR = 100 and an inductor LR = 200 H. To protect the switch S driving the relay, a resistor RF = 100 is placed across the relay as shown.
