Q5.

Find the answer (in mA) to Question 5 in the attached image where:

Vi(min) = 14 Volts, Vi(max) = 21 Volts,

IL(max) = 298 mA and VBE(sat) = 0.6 Volts.

 

Provide your answer rounded to 2 decimal places.

Question 5
Again consider the voltage regulator circuit shown in Figure 2. We would like to
maintain the output voltage (v。) at a constant 5 V and allow a maximum load
current (IL,max) through the load resistor (RL). Assume that the unregulated
input voltage (vi (t)) varies from Vi,min volts to Vi,max volts. Assume that Ris
set at 1kN and that the transistor operates in the active region.
1. Calculate the maximum zener current (iz).
