Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a simple circuit using an NMOS transistor where the gain needs to be at least 10. Choose appropriate values for the gate voltage, load resistance, and verify the operating point.
💡 Hint: Start with the gain formula and find suitable component values.
The current flowing through a MOSFET in the triode region is 5 mA, and the output voltage is 3V. Given a load resistance of 1kΩ, calculate the necessary gate voltage to ensure saturation.
💡 Hint: Always check if changes affect the region of operation.
