Question 1

What does increasing the W in the W/L ratio do to the ID of a MOS transistor?

  • Decreases ID
  • No effect
  • Increases ID

💡 Hint: Consider how the area available for conduction changes.

Question 2

True or False: A higher Cgg typically leads to faster switching speeds.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the implications of larger capacitive loads.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are designing a circuit that requires a balance of speed and power. If using a W/L ratio of 4 gives sufficient ID but increases Cgg significantly, how might you adjust the ratio while ensuring performance?

💡 Hint: Balance the required performance metrics carefully.

Question 2

Given a NMOS with a W of 500nm and L of 180nm achieving 20mA, calculate the expected current when W is adjusted to 1.5u, and explain the reasoning behind that calculation.

💡 Hint: Use the relationship of how changes in W affect ID and consider capacitance.
