Your friend who works for Photons 'R Us wants help with a circuit to drive the new LED his company has developed. He wants to turn on the LED based on a digital signal which swings between VDD and OV. Unfortunately the LED when it is on drops a voltage VD across of it and requires a current of IL to flow through it to produce light. You ask your 10A Professor for help and he shows you two circuits shown in figure 5, of course in his usual absent-minded self does not tell you how each one works, he only cryptically says one inverts and the other does not.

Question
Your friend who works for Photons 'R Us wants help with a circuit to drive the new
LED his company has developed. He wants to turn on the LED based on a digital signal
which swings between VDD and OV. Unfortunately the LED when it is on drops a voltage
VD across of it and requires a current of IL to flow through it to produce light. You ask
your 10A Professor for help and he shows you two circuits shown in figure 5, of course in
his usual absent-minded self does not tell you how each one works, he only cryptically
says one inverts and the other does not.
V₁
V DD
R₁
(a) Configuration A
Vo
VDD
Figure 5: LED Driver
RL
(b) Configuration B
(a) Based on your 10A knowledge which circuit will turn the LED on when
the digital signal is logic 1 ? Explain your answer clearly
