Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a current mirror where the reference current is 2 mA and the output is affected by λ = 0.02 V^-1. Find the output current for V_ds = 6V.
💡 Hint: Don't forget to factor in the finite lambda when computing current to maintain accuracy.
Assess a current mirror design using MOSFETs with different K values. Derive how altering one K value affects the overall performance.
💡 Hint: Compare before and after values and examine the changes thoroughly.
