Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the formula for voltage gain in a common source amplifier?

  • A = R_D * g_m
  • A = -R_D * g_m
  • A = g_m / R_D

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the relationship between voltage gain and the output resistor.

Question 2

True or False: The input resistance of a common source amplifier is high due to zero gate current.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what happens at the input port.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a common source MOSFET amplifier with a transconductance g_m = 2 mA/V, find the output voltage for an input AC swing of 0.5V, given that R_D = 3 kΩ. Calculate the voltage gain and the expected output swing.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the gain formula learned earlier.

Question 2

Discuss how you would design a common source amplifier to optimize its voltage gain in an integrated circuit environment as compared to discrete circuit designs.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the trade-offs in real estate versus performance.
