Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have a MOSFET with a threshold voltage of 2V, K=2 mA/V², and you apply a gate voltage of 3V. Calculate the maximum current output through a load resistor of 4K.
💡 Hint: Don't forget to double-check the conditions to ensure it remains in saturation.
If the load resistor is changed to 2K, how will this affect the output current and voltage across the resistor?
💡 Hint: Refer to the load line analysis to visualize changes across circuits.
