Design a simple amplifier circuit using an NMOS transistor with a target gain of 10. Specify values for K, R, and V_GS to achieve this.
💡 Hint: Start with choosing suitable K and calculate accordingly.
Given a circuit with a PMOS, if V_DD = 12V, V_GS = 4V, and R_D = 1K, calculate the output voltage and determine if the MOSFET is operating in saturation.
💡 Hint: Understand the conditions for saturation and use Ohm's law.
