ELEE 3101 Electronics I Lab Lab 3: Basic Diode Measurements Page 1 of 5 Lab 3: Basic Diode Measurements Student name: ________________________________ Student ID: ____________ I. Introduction On this laboratory assignment you will perform basic measurements in circuits containing a diode, this with the purpose that you get familiarized with the mode of operation of diodes and that you get skills in the analysis of circuits containing diodes. II. Objectives Identify the different types of diodes. Measure voltages and currents on a diode at a circuit. Perform DC characterization of different diodes. III. Equipment Required Digital Multimeter Breadboard Miscellaneous cables IV. Material Required 1 Conventional Diode 1N4007 (Rectifier diode) 1 Light Emitting Diode (LED) Resistors of different values Jumper wires

Before the Lab Before beginning, download the datasheets of each of the diodes on this assignment, and fill the following table (Table 1), use proper units. Table 1.- Diode Data Concentration Nominal Fordward Voltage Nominal Fordward Current Conventional Diode Light Emitting Diode VI. In the Lab 6.1 Forward Biased Measurements The basic circuit used is shown in Figure 1. The resistor will vary depending on the diode you are testing. You will be using the multimeter to measure the resistor value, its voltage drops, and the voltage that drops on the diode. Figure 1.- Setup for forward biased diode measurements. 1) For each diode, calculate the resistor value in Figure 1 required to generate a current of 75 mA or the max current specified by the datasheet (whichever is lower) when 𝑉 ? is set to 5 volts. A KVL loop equation is useful when calculating the resistor values.

Conventional Diode Light Emitting Diode Calculated Resistor Value ( Ω ) Measured Resistor Value ( Ω ) 2) Variate the voltage of the source from 0 to 5 volts while recording the voltage across the diode and the resistor. Increments of 0.25 volts are suggested. Table 3.- Voltage drops on resistor and diode 𝑉 ? 𝑉 ? 1 𝑉 ?
