Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A MOSFET has a transconductance of 5 mA/V and operates around a Q-point of 2 mA. If the gate-source voltage increases by 0.5V, calculate the new drain current.
💡 Hint: Use the transconductance formula.
What are the consequences in a circuit if the Q-point drifts too far from its designated point?
💡 Hint: Think about the linearity and stability of operations.
