A
Diode Problem - (1.4)
Here is a circuit you have not encountered before.

Your job is to do the following:
-
In
this circuit, determine the output voltage as a function of the input voltage.
Assume the following:
-
Both
diodes are ideal.
-
V1
= 10v, and V2 = -10v.
-
Express
the relationship between input voltage are output voltage in words.
-
Determine
how the circuit works when the diodes are non-ideal by assuming a threshold
voltage of 0.7v for both diodes.
