An NMOS amplifier is shown in Figure 1. Transistor M1 is biased in the saturation region for an amplifier application. The circuit is biased with a resistive voltage divider consisting of R1 and R2, a source degeneration resistor RS, and a load resistor RD. The drain bias current for the design is ID = 500 μA and VDS is 1.625 V. The device parameters are: L = 0.5 μm, W = 10 μm, kn′ = 200 μA/V2, Vtn = 0.5 V, and λn = 0.

Include a copy of the schematic and the dc operating point results (text log with node voltages and currents). [8] d) Use LTSPICE to evaluate the change in ID for a variation in the technology process parameter kn′. Evaluate the change in ID for a change of ±10% in kn′. Compare the relative change in ID with the relative change in kn′. What do you observe? Explain how the source degeneration resistor RS implements negative feedback which reduces the sensitivity of the bias point to changes in kn′. [8]
