Analog Circuits Questions and Answers – MOSFET Amplifier with CS Configuration – 1
This set of Analog Circuits Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “MOSFET Amplifier with CS Configuration – 1”.
1. Neglecting Channel Length Modulation, what is the voltage gain from the gate to the drain of M1?
a) gm * R1
b) gm * 2R1
c) gm * R1 || RO
d) 3gm * R1 View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: We construct the rπ model and find that the voltage gain from the gate to the drain of the MOSFET is gm * R1. Since Channel Length Modulation is neglected, the voltage gain won’t be gm * R1 || RO.
2. In the following C.S. stage shown below, what is the transconductance?
a) \(\frac{1}{2}\)µnCox*(W/L)(V1-Vth)
b) 3µnCox*(W/L)(V1-Vth)
c) µnCox*(W/L)(V1-Vth)
d) 2µnCox*(W/L)(V1-Vth) View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The transconductance is the ratio of a small change in the output current due to a small change in the input voltage. By differentiating the equation relating the current to the input voltage of a MOSFET with respect to the input voltage, we’ll get \(\frac{1}{2}\)µnCox*(W/L)(V1-Vth).
3. In the following C.S. stage shown below, what is the input impedance (ideally) if channel length modulation is neglected?
a) Infinite
b) Very high
c) Very low
d) Cannot be determined View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Ideally, the input impedance while looking into the gate of the MOSFET is infinite. This is because of the SiO2 layer which behaves as an insulator.
