Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a MOSFET amplifier circuit that operates with an input of 2V and allows for an output gain of -10. Identify all parameters necessary for the circuit to operate within the saturation region.
💡 Hint: Consider how changing input affects transconductance and the gain formula.
Given varying input signals with a DC offset, calculate how the output alters as the input swings from a low of 1V to a high of 5V, while maintaining the operating point.
💡 Hint: Draw the characteristic curve to visualize the impact of the input on the output.
