Question 1

What happens in the ‘cutoff’ region for an NMOS transistor?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about voltage levels in this region.

Question 2

In what operating region does the NMOS transistor act like a current source?

  • Cutoff
  • Triode
  • Saturation
  • None of the above

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a circuit design scenario where the NMOS transistor is incorrectly set to operate in the cut-off region while it should be active. Discuss the outcome and the specific implications on the overall circuit function.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the role of voltages and current flow in circuit functionality.

Question 2

You are tasked with designing a CMOS inverter. Explain how the W/L ratio for NMOS should differ from that of PMOS transistors and the rationale behind it.

💡 Hint: Consider the charge carrier types in NMOS and PMOS when discussing drive strengths.
