Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A MOSFET is operating with a V_{GS} of 3V, a threshold voltage of 1V, ΞΌ_n is 400 cmΒ²/VΒ·s, and C_{ox} is 1.5 fF/ΞΌmΒ². Given W/L = 12, calculate the transconductance.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Break down the components of the equation and substitute values step-wise.

Question 2

If a designer wants to significantly increase the transconductance without changing the voltage, how can they adjust the device parameters?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how these changes will affect the ratio.
