Questions
1. State the difference between Integrator and Low pass filter circuit?

2. Identify the function of the circuit and draw the output at junction A


3. What is the output of a TTL AND gate when both the input is left floating?

4. Name the electronic component which is very small in size but it can give you
inductance of several henries(Inductors if implemented using copper wires for the
same values of inductance they would weigh several kilograms)

5. Which of the following is the better switching device? Give reason
a. Diode b. Transistor

6. Which Op-amp circuit has highest bandwidth ?
7. Imagine that you are designing an Op-amp amplifier circuit for ECG signal
processing from a patient. What are the characteristics of opamp that you will
consider in your design such that it will give you good output and is safe for using on
any patient? Explain?
8. Write the output for the following circuits

Figure(a) Figure(b)
9. When input and output of a linear system (for sinusoid input) are connected to CH1 and
CH2 of the CRO and opearted in XY mode we get the patterns in CRO screens which are
known as Lissajious patterns. It is very useful in measuring the phase difference between
input and output for a given system. Calculate the phase difference from the following
lissajious patterns (Hint: Apply basic trigonometry and transfer characteristics properties)

10.What is Early Effect ?
11. Name the regions in which the following semiconductor devices work?
a. Zener Diode b. Solar Cell c. LASER diode d. Avalanche photodiode
12. The circuit in the figure has two CMOS NOR gates. This circuits functions as a



13. In electrical circuits, we have single phase and three phase circuits. Is it possible to
have two phase circuits??***
14. Mention the states of S1, S2, S3 and S4 for which the motor (M) will run in both
clockwise and anticlockwise direction. What is this circuit technically called?






15. What is the equivalent Resistance between the two blue dots? (value of each resistor
is1ohm)


16. Find the Boolean expression?





17. Which is not a precaution for handling CMOS?
A. Devices should be placed with pins down on a grounded surface, such as a metal plate.
B. All tools, test equipment, and metal workbenches should be earth grounded.
C. CMOS devices should not be inserted into sockets or PC boards with the power on.
D. Wear wool clothes at all times.

18. What is a varistor?

19. The technologically advanced humanoid robot ASIMO is made by which company?

20. What do you expect from VPM? ***
