Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a scenario where a MOSFET is operating at its threshold voltage with K = 1.2 mA/V² and applying a V_GS just equal to V_th. Determine the drain current I_DS and explain what happens if V_DS is subsequently increased.
💡 Hint: Think about operating just at the boundary conditions.
A p-MOSFET has V_th = -2V, and you apply V_GS = -4V. If V_SD is increased beyond the saturation point, determine what happens to the drain current.
💡 Hint: Focus on maintaining the larger negative voltages and their effects.
