Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a simple circuit that includes both an n-channel and a p-channel MOSFET. Explain how to bias each and ensure they work together.
💡 Hint: Consider how to control the timing of both MOSFETs for desired operation.
Given a p-MOSFET with a threshold voltage of -2V, if you apply -5V to the gate with respect to the source, predict the behavior and current flow.
💡 Hint: Visualize the voltage drops and flow of holes when sufficiently biased.
