The circuit diagram below shows a clipping circuit. The input signal
V_(S)is a sinusoidal waveform (with no
DCoffset) that varies between + and - value of
14V. The designer wishes the output waveform
V_(0)to be the same as the input waveform excepting that all parts of the input waveform that go above a certain voltage are to be clipped off (the output voltage does not go higher than that level). Given that the constant voltage source
Ehas been set to a voltage of
+5.0Vthen it is possible for you to determine the voltage at which clipping takes place. Current will only flow through resistor
Rof
4.1k\Omega during clipping. (You may assume that the forward bias voltage of the diode
Dshown is
+0.7V). What is the magnitude (no need to add + or - sign) of the maximum value of the current in mA that will flow through that resistor
R? Hint: Do not add the units to your answer, and use three decimal places.
