Chapter 2, Problem 2.44P

The diodes in the circuit in Figure P2.44 have piecewise linear parameters of $V_{\gamma }=0.6\text{V}$ and $r_f=0$ . Determine the output voltage $V_O$ and the diode currents $I_{D1}$ and $I_{D2}$ for the following input conditions: (a) $V_1=10\text{V,}{V}_2=0$ ; (b) $V_1=5\text{V,}{V}_2=0$ ; (c) $V_1=10\text{V,}{V}_2=5\text{V}$ ; and (d) $V_1=V_2=10\text{V}$ . (e) Compare the results of parts (a) through (d) with a computer simulation analysis.
