Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A circuit designer is developing a high-speed amplifier with a required Ids of 10 mA. If the designer increases W by 50% without changing L, how does that impact Ids?
💡 Hint: Look at the relationship between W and Ids.
You're tasked with ensuring the MOSFET operates efficiently just below pinch-off while maximizing Ids. How would you adjust the parameters?
💡 Hint: Consider how each parameter's adjustment influences the conductivity.
