Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a common source amplifier for a desired output voltage swing of +/- 3V using Vdd = 12V and a threshold voltage of 1V. Determine the values of R1, R2, and RD.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Break down the design based on maintaining balance around the center voltage.

Question 2

What will happen to the output gain if RD is increased without changing VGS? Explain and calculate.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Look into the effects on gain per the transistor’s equations to fully understand this.
