Question 2

(a) A zener diode 1N4747 is used as a voltage regulator. Limiting resistor, .R is 560O and its maximum DC power dissipation Pd(max) is assumed to be lW.

1)

Sketch the schematic diagram for the unloaded circuit.

ii)

Assuming a practical model for the zener diode , determine the range of input voltage required for regulation.

iii) Assume the circuit is now connected to a 24Y dc source voltage, and a
variable resistor is used to replace the fixed resistor. Assume the zener diode is represented in an ideal model, determine the range of values of .R for which zener diode remains in regulation with no danger of failure.

Figure 7 (c) As part of an aircraft's functional monitoring system, a circuit is required to indicate the sta:tus of the landing gears prior to landing as shown in Figure 8. A green LED display turns on if all three gears are properly extended when the o'gear down" switch has been activated in preparation for landing. A red LED display turns on if any of the gears fail to extend properly prior to landing. When a landing gear is retracted, its sensor produces a HIGH voltage.
