Q1.
An NMOS transistor, fabricated with W = 100 m and L = 5 m in a technology for
which kn' = 50 A/V2 and Vt = 1V, is to be operated at very low values of vDS as
linear resistor. Calculate the value of channel resistance for two values of Vgs 1.1
V and 11 V? You range of resistance would then be the difference between the
two values that you have calculated.
How does this range change if

Q4.
All the transistors in the circuits shown have the same values of Vt, k, W/L and
lambda. Moreover, Lambda is negligibly small. All operate in saturation at Id=I
and |Vgs|=|Vds|= 1V. Find the voltages at V1, V2, V3 and V4. If |Vt|=0.5 V and
I=0.1mA, how large a resistor can be inserted in series with each drain connection
while maintaining saturation? Attempt this question this for the 3 circuits shown
below.
Q5.
Determine the region of operation of the transistors in each of the circuits shown
below. Assume VTH = 0.4 V for NMOSdevices.
Q6:
For the Circuit shown below, calculate Vo. Vt=2V and k=1mA/(V^2). In order to
solve this, you have to determine yourself if M1 and M2 are in saturation or linear
region. Start by assuming something.

For the circuit below, let RG = 10 Mohms and RD = 1O Kohmsand VDD = 10 V. For each of the
following two transistors, findthe voltages VD and VG:
(a) Vt=1 Vand k'nW/L = 0.5 mA/V2
(b) Vt= 2 V and knW/L= 1.25 mA/V2
Qs 9:
For the Circuit below, using a 6-V supply with an NMOS transistor for which V, = 1.2 V, k'nW/L =
3.2 mA/V2 and = 0, provide a design which biases the transistor at ID = 2 mA, with VDS large
enough to allow saturation operation for a 2-V negative signal swing at the drain. Use 22 M
ohm as the largest resistor in the feedback-bias network. What values of RD, RG1and RG2 have
you chosen?
