Pre-Lab: Lab # 4 MOSFET Amplifiers: Multistage Cascaded Configuration

This lab experiment involves analyzing multi-transistor or multistage amplifiers. Students learn about cascading amplifiers by connecting the output of one stage to the input of the next. This allows the gains to multiply, increasing the overall gain. The experiment involves analyzing the DC and AC characteristics of both stages, as well as measuring the voltage gains with and without a load to understand the effects of cascading on voltage gain and loading.

Lab # 4 MOSFET Amplifiers: Multistage Cascaded Configuration

Objective
Learn about the basic knowledge of cascade amplifier by Analyzing multi-transistor or multistage amplifiers and
understand the advantages of these circuits over single transistor amplifiers.

Introduction
Two or more amplifiers can be connected to increase the gain of an AC signal. The overall gain can be calculated by
simply multiplying each gain together as shown in Figure 1.

Problem 1
Why a low value of load resistance has significant effect on the voltage gain of a common-source amplifier? Give at least
two practical solutions to reduce the effect of load resistance in that amplifier. Which solution will be more suitable and
why?
The basic source amplifier has high information impedance so to get increased outcomes we need a high yield
impedance at the normal source enhancer end. On the off chance that we put a low protection we won't get the
best possible voltage pick up. The most ideal approach to manage this issue is to course a typical deplete
intensifier at the yield of normal source enhancer. The normal deplete intensifier has high information
impedance and low yield impedance. The voltage picks up will of the same as of the normal source intensifier
since the basic deplete speaker has a voltage pick up of solidarity.
Problem 2
How common-drain amplifier reduces the effect of load resistance on voltage gain of common-source
amplifier in Fig. 2
The common drain amplifier is a helping hand for the common source of amplifier. If the resistance is low, then
the common drain amplifier helps by keeping the voltage gain same of the common source amplifier and
providing full gain even at low resistance of load. For high resistance the common drain amplifier can be
problem creating.
Problem 3
Common-drain amplifier has unity voltage gain. Then what is the purpose of using common-drain amplifier in
any amplifiers circuit.
The reason we use common drain configuration is to get low output impedance and high input impedance so
that it can sense the voltage in more effective way and can deliver the output with low resistance which cannot
be achieved with the common source amplifier. High Input Impedance, 1 or less voltage gain, Low output
impedance.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS

In this lab experiment we constructed the cascaded amplifier in which


common source amplifier is cascaded to common drain amplifier. The
main advantage of cascading is to amplify the output gain, as it was
observed in single stage common source amplifier the loading effect
reduces the output voltage gain so we cascade it with common drain as
a result total output gain id Avt=Av1+Av2.it was also observed that
including and removing load has no effect on output gain.
