Q:

Which circuit is used for obtaining desired output waveform in operational amplifier?

A) Clipper B) Clamper
C) Peak amplifier D) Sample and hold
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Clipper

Explanation: In an op-amp clipper circuits a rectifier diode is used to clip off certain portions of the input signal to obtain a designed output waveform.

Q:

How to overcome mistriggering on the positive pulse edges in the monostable circuit?

A) Connect a RC network at the input B) Connect an integrator at the input
C) Connect a differentiator at the input D) Connect a diode at the input
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Connect a differentiator at the input

Explanation: To prevent the mistrigger on positive pulse edges, a resister & capacitor combined of 10k? and 0.001µF at the input to form a differentiator

Q:

What is the disadvantage of binary weighted type DAC?

A) Require wide range of resistors B) High operating frequency
C) High power consumption D) Slow switching
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Require wide range of resistors

Explanation: For better resolution of output, the input binary word length has to be increased. As the number of bit increases, the range of resistance value increases.

Q:

What happens if the input voltage is higher than reference voltage in a positive clipper?

A) Output voltage = Reference voltage B) Output voltage = DC Positive voltage
C) Output voltage = Input voltage D) All of the mentioned
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Output voltage = Reference voltage

Explanation: When input voltage is higher than reference voltage, the op-amp operates in open loop and diode become reverse biased. Thus, the output voltage will be equal to reference voltage.

Q:

A monostable multivibrator has R = 120k? and the time delay T = 1000ms, calculate the value of C?

A) 0.9µF B) 1.32µF
C) 7.5µF D) 2.49µF
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 7.5µF

Explanation: Time delay for a monostable multivibrator, T = 1.1RC
=> C = T/(1.1R) = 1000ms/(1.1×120k?) = 7.57µF.

Q:

Diode in small signal positive halfwave rectifier circuit acts as

A) Ideal diode B) Clipper diode
C) Clamper diode D) Rectifier diode
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Ideal diode

Explanation: The diode acts as an ideal diode, since the voltage across the ON diode is divided by the open loop gain of the op-amp. As the input voltage starts increasing in the positive direction, the output of the op-amp also increases positively till the diode become forward biased.

Q:

Voltage shunt feedback amplifier forms

A) A negative feedback B) A positive feedback
C) Both positive and negative D) None of the mentioned
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) A negative feedback

Explanation: A voltage shunt feedback amplifier forms a negative feedback because, any increase in the output signal results in a feedback signal into the inverting input causing a decrease in the output signal.

Q:

Depending on the value of input and reference voltage a comparator can be named as

A) Voltage follower B) Digital to analog converter
C) Schmitt trigger D) Voltage level detector
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Voltage level detector

Explanation: A comparator is some time called as voltage level detector because, for a desired value of reference voltage, the voltage level of the input can be detected.
