Question:

The cut-in voltage of the diode shown in the circuit in Figure P1.46 is \(V_{\gamma}=0.7 \mathrm{~V}\). The diode is to remain biased "on" for a power supply voltage in the range \(5 \leq V_{P S} \leq 10 \mathrm{~V}\). The minimum diode current is to be \(I_{D}(\mathrm{~min})=2 \mathrm{~mA}\). The maximum power dissipated in the diode is to be no more than \(10 \mathrm{~mW}\). Determine appropriate values of \(R_{1}\) and \(R_{2}\).
