Q1. Design the circuit below to establish a drain current of 1 mA and a drain voltage of 0 V.
The MOSFET has Vt = 1 V, μnCox = 60 μA/V2 , L = 3 μm, and W= 100 μm.
Q2. The PMOS transistor in the circuit has Vt = -0.7 V, μnCox = 60 μA/V2 , L = 0.8 μm, and
A = 0. Find the values required for W and R in order to establish a drain current of
115 μA and a voltage VD of 3.5 V.
Q3. The NMOS transistors in the circuit have Vt = 1 V, μnCox = 120 μA/V2 , A = 0, and L1

R, to obtain the voltage and current values indicated.
Q4. The MOSFET has Vt = 1V , kn' = 100 μA/V2 , and A = 0. Find the required values of
W/L and of R so that when vI= VDD = +5 V, rDS = 50Ω, and vo = 50 mV.
Q5a. For each of the circuits shown in fig, find the labelled node voltages. The NMOS
transistors have Vt = 1 V and. kn' W/L = 2 μA/V2 . Assume λ =0.
Q5b. For each of the circuits shown in fig, find the labeled node voltages. The NMOS
transistors have Vt = 1 V and. kn' W/L = 2 μA/V2 . Assume λ =0.
Q6. Various measurements are made on an NMOS amplifier for which the drain resistor R D
is 20 kΩ. First, dc measurements show the voltage across the drain resistor, VRD, to be 2 V
and the gate-to-source bias voltage to be 1.2 V. Then, ac measurements with small signals
show the voltage gain to be -10 V/V. What is the value of Vt for this transistor? If the process
transconductance parameter kn' is 50 μA/V2 , what is the MOSFET's W/L?
Q7. An enhancement NMOS transistor is connected in the bias circuit with VG = 4V and Rs =
1 kΩ. The transistor has Vt = 2 V and kn'(W/L) = 2 mA/V2 . What bias current results? If a
transistor for which kn'(W/L) is 50% higher is used, what is the resulting percentage increase
in ID ?
Q8. The bias circuit of figure below is used in a design with VG = 5 V and Rs = 1 kΩ. For an
enhancement MOSFET with kn'(W/L) = 2 mA/V2 , the source voltage was measured and
found to be 2 V. What must Vt be for this device? If a device for which Vt is 0.5 V less is
used, what does Vs become? What bias current results?
Q9. Design the circuit for an enhancement MOSFET having Vt = 2 V & kn'(W/L) = 2mA/V2.
Let VDD = Vss = 10 V. Design for a dc bias current of 1 mA & for the largest possible voltage
gain (and thus the largest possible RD) consistent with allowing a 2V peak-to-peak voltage
swing at the drain. Assume that the signal voltage on the source terminal of the FET is zero.
Q10. For the circuit with I= 1 mA, RG = 0, RD = 5 k Ω, and VDD = 10 V, consider the

the bias point. (c) Calculate the value of the voltage gain. (d) If the MOSFET has λ = 0.01
V-1, find ro at the bias point and calculate the voltage gain.
Q12. Using an enhancement-type PMOS transistor with Vt = -1.5V, kp'(W/L) = 1mA/V2 ,

Q13. Design the circuit so that the transistor operates in saturation with VD biased 1 V from
the edge of the triode region, with ID= 1mA and VD = 3V, for each of the following two
devices (use a 10 μ A current in the voltage divider):
(a) |Vt| = 1 V and kp'W/L = 0.5 mA/V2

R1 , R2 , Rs , and RD .

parameter kn' =100μA/[Link] A = 0, find V1, V2 , &V3 for each of the following cases:
(a) (W/L)1 = (W/L)2 = 20
(b) (W/L)1 = 1.5(W/L)2 = 20
Q15. For the circuits μnCox = 2.5 μpCox = 20 μA/V2, |Vt| = 1V, λ = 0, ɣ = 0, L = 10 µm, and
