It is weigh-in time for the local under-85-kg rugby team. The bathroom scale used to assess eligibility can be described by Hooke's law and is depressed 0.75 cm by its maximum load of 120 kg. (a) What is the spring's effective force constant? (b) A player stands on the scales and depresses it by 0.48 cm. Is he eligible to play on this under-85-kg team?

At the end of this assignment is a set of characteristic curves for an n-channel JFET. Print out the curves, and look at the one labeled "nJFET #1." The curves are label with the gate-source voltage (VGS) values. (a) Estimate the IDSS from the curve. (b) Estimate the gate-source threshold voltage VT. (c) Plot the load line on the graph when the nJFET is used in this circuit. (d) We want to set the quiescent point to be near the middle of the full possible output voltage range (about halfway between 0V and VDD = 15V). Mark the quiescent point with "Q" on the load line. (e) What is the transconductance near the quiescent point? (f) What should the DC voltage be set to in order to properly bias the transistor? (Assume that the DC voltage can be adjusted to any positive or negative value, and that the AC amplitude is zero for now). (g) The AC voltage now has an amplitude of 0. 5V (in other words, VG oscillates ±0. 5V around the VDC value). Use the graph to determine the maximum and minimum values for the drain current. (h) Based on the max and min drain currents, what are the max and min values for Vout ? And based on this peak-peak output swing, what is the AC gain of the circuit? (i) What is the AC gain of the circuit of you calculate it directly from the transconductance and the circuit components?

FETs can be used to either pull an output high or to pull it low, but NFETs are generally better in digital applications for pulling outputs low and PFETs for pulling outputs high. Consider an NFET with characteristics: NMOS: kn′ = 115 μA/V2, VT0 = 0.43 V, λ = 0.06 V−1, VDSAT = 0.6 V, W/L = 2, and a supply voltage of Vdd = 2.0 V. Say the NFET is used to pull a capacitor high: (a) How low can the NFET pull the output voltage and still be turned "on"? (b) Considering your answer to part (a) above, what is the highest output voltage, Vout , max that will be seen using an NFET as a pull-up? (c) When the output voltage is within 0.1 V of its maximum, Vout = Vout,max − 0.1, what state is the NFET in (saturation, cut-off, linear)? (d) What is the current, approximately, through the NFET when Vout = Vout,max − 0.1 ?
