Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given an N-channel MOSFET with V_dd = 12V, V_gs = 5V, and threshold voltage V_th = 2V, calculate I_D if the transconductance parameter K is 0.5 A/V^2. Also, find the output voltage if R_D = 4Ω.
💡 Hint: Watch out for the power ratings in your computations.
Sketch a load line for a common-source N-channel MOSFET circuit with V_dd = 10V and R_D = 5Ω. How would changing R_D affect the operating point?
💡 Hint: Identify where the curves intersect for determining the point of operation.
