Question
### Circuit Analysis with Diode in Feedback Path

**Problem Statement:**

The circuit shown uses a diode in the feedback path of an operational amplifier (op amp). For analysis, use the ideal switch model to understand the circuit’s behavior, ignoring the diode’s 0.7V forward drop. Assume:

- **Resistor (R):** 1kΩ
- The op amp is ideal.

**Circuit Diagram Explanation:**

The circuit features:

- An op amp with an inverting input connected to the input voltage \( V_{\text{IN}} \).
- A feedback loop with a diode (D) and a resistor (R) connected in series.
- The non-inverting input is grounded.

**Questions:**

a) **Given \( V_{\text{IN}} = 2V \):**

- Determine the current direction \( i \) through R.
- Is the diode ON or OFF?
- What is the output voltage \( V_{\text{OUT}} \)?

b) **Given \( V_{\text{IN}} = -2V \):**

- Determine the current direction \( i \) through R.
- Is the diode ON or OFF?
- What is the output voltage \( V_{\text{OUT}} \)?

c) **Explain why \( V_{\text{OUT}} \) can never be less than 0V.**

**Guidelines for Solution:**

- Use the behavior of the ideal diode: Conducts when forward-biased (ON), blocks when reverse-biased (OFF).
- The ideal op amp ensures the voltage at both inputs is equal in steady state.

**Graphical Explanation:**

The schematic shows:

- **Diode (D):** Controls feedback current, turning ON or OFF based on \( V_{\text{IN}} \).
- **Resistor (R):** 1kΩ defines current \( i \) when the diode is conducting.
- **Op Amp Configuration:** Inverting setup with diode feedback controlling \( V_{\text{OUT}} \).

**Theoretical Understanding:**

- For positive \( V_{\text{IN}} \): Diode likely conducts, impacting \( V_{\text{OUT}} \).
- For negative \( V_{\text{IN}} \): Diode likely blocks, suggesting \( V_{\text{OUT}} \) is 0V.
- Positive feedback behavior ensures \( V_{\text{OUT}} \) remains non-negative.
