Question 1

What condition indicates cutoff for NMOS?

  • VGS < Vt
  • VGS > Vt
  • VDS < (VGS - Vt)

💡 Hint: Consider where the logic flow stops.

Question 2

Is it true that the saturation region acts like a controlled current source?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think of it as the maximum efficiency state.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If an NMOS transistor is biased with VGS = 3V and Vt = 2.5V, and VDS is varied from 0V to 1.5V, what regions does the transistor operate in?

💡 Hint: Look at both gate-source and drain-source relationships.

Question 2

For a PMOS transistor with VGS = -1V and Vt = -1.5V, describe its operational state if VDS is set to -0.5V.

💡 Hint: Consider how voltages interact on both sides of the device.
