{{fa>pencil?32}} The following circuit depicts a simple voltage reference circuit. There, a Z-diode provides a constant output voltage $U_\rm L$ on the load - despite a fluctuating input voltage $U_\rm S$ from the source. \\ The following quantities shall to be used: * Source voltage $U_{\rm S}=7.0 ... 13.0~\rm V$ (e.g. via sinusoidal input voltage with $f = 50 ~\rm Hz$), * series resistor $R_{\rm V}=1.0~\rm k\Omega $ * load resistor $R_{\rm L}= 10~\rm k\Omega $ * Z-diode $D_\rm Z$ as $\rm BZX84C6V2$ ($U_\rm Z = 6.2 ~\rm V$) {{drawio>circuit_design:diagram1.svg}} An ideal Z-diode would be assumed to hold the breakdown voltage $U_\rm Z$ at all reverse currents $I_\rm S$. \\ This is to be checked for the real diode. - Model the circuit in Tina TI and insert a picture of the circuit. - Compare the progression of $U_\rm L$ to $U_\rm S$. In particular, measure the maximum and minimum values of $U_\rm L$. - Change the load resistance to $R_\rm L=1.0~\rm k\Omega $ and perform the same comparison of $U_\rm L$ to $U_\rm S$ again. - How can the difference be explained?
