5) The figure below illustrates a simple voltage threshold detection circuit. To understand how it
operates, we will analyze its behavior based on the simple constant voltage drop model for both
diodes. Assume the Zener diode (Z1) only conducts when its breakdown voltage of 10V is reached.
Di is a red light emitting diode (LED). Assume it conducts after its forward bias voltage of 1.8V is
reached. Vin is unknown.
Assume Zj acts as a perfect Zener diode (without series resistance). What voltage does Vin
have to reach before there is a current through R¡?
What voltage must Vin reach before current flows through R2?
