A MOSFET has a W of 30µm, L of 0.5µm, Vth of 1V, and operates with a V_DS of 4V. If V_GS is 5V, calculate I_DS assuming k is given as 1 mA/V^2.
💡 Hint: Identify k and substitute the values directly into the equation.
Illustrate the I-V characteristic curve based on changing V_GS and V_DS. Describe the points where pinch-off occurs.
💡 Hint: Consider specific voltage values that correspond to Vth for accurate plotting.
