17.1.2. Analysis of simple non-linear circuits containing a MOSFET (Contd.)

Try these first

1. 1.

   What happens if you increase the gate voltage of a MOSFET?

   Hint

   Think about how devices respond to changes in voltage.

2. 2.

   What do the x-axis and y-axis of an I-V curve represent?

   Hint

   Recall what parameters we analyze in electronic circuits.

3. 3.

   What is the role of gate voltage in a MOSFET?

   • Controls the current flow
   • Regulates the temperature
   • None of the above

   Hint

   Consider how voltage affects current in different devices.

4. 4.

   True or False: The gain of a MOSFET circuit is always positive.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about the relationship between input and output.

5. 5.

   Design a MOSFET circuit that allows for an amplification factor of 10, using gain calculations.

   Hint

   Evaluate different combinations of gm and R.

6. 6.

   Draw the load line given a MOSFET characterized by K=2mA/V^2 and Vth=2V.

   Hint

   Use the formula for current to derive voltage coordinates.
