Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have a MOSFET where g_m = 3 mA/V and g_d = 0.2 mA/V. If v_gs increases by 1V and v_ds remains constant, calculate the change in the drain current.
💡 Hint: Use the g_m value for immediate current response.
Describe how you would adjust a circuit using MOSFETs to maintain linear operation as frequency increases beyond mid-range.
💡 Hint: Which additional components will compensate for increased frequency?
