Consider the circuit configuration shown below, which is commonly used for measuring n-channel MOSFET parameters. The transistor's length and width are 1 μm. The accompanying graph plots the transistor's square root of drain current vs. gate voltage, VG. a) Estimate the threshold voltage of the n-channel MOSFET. b) When VG is between 1.5 V and 2.5 V, in what region is the device operating? Consider the p-channel MOSFET amplifier given to the right. ID = 12 kp(VSG − |Vtp|)2, VDD = 5 V, RL = 2 kΩ, kp = 1 mA/V2, Vtp = −1 V c) Derive an expression for the transistor bias point, VGQ, as a function of VDD, Ra, and Rb. d) Determine the required ratio Ra/Rb such that the MOSFET current, ID = 0.5 mA e) What is the voltage bias point of the output VoutQ?
