MOSFET Parameters
BJT Parameters
2(a) VCBO = 60V
It refers to the maximum voltage that can be applied between the collector and base terminals of the
BJT with the emitter terminal open, without causing breakdown or damage to the device.
(e)tr = 25ns
Rise time refers to the time taken for the output voltage of the transistor to rise from a specified low
value to a specified high value.
(f) td = 10ns
Delay time refers to the time taken for the output voltage of the transistor to reach a specified value
after the input voltage has reached a specified value.
(g)ts = 200ns
Storage time refers to the time taken for the transistor to switch off completely after the base current
has been removed.
(h) tf = 60ns
Fall time refers to the time taken for the output voltage of the transistor to fall from a specified high
value to a specified low value.
(i)fT = 250MHz
Transition frequency refers to the frequency at which the current gain of the transistor starts to
decrease rapidly with increasing frequency.
(7)(a) The band gap of the LED's material is larger, and thus, requires a higher voltage to overcome the
energy barrier and allow current to flow.
(b)(i)The transistor is in active since VBE is greater than VT (0.7V for most transistors)
(ii) VB = VBB – IB* RB
VB = 5 – IB * 220
IB = (VBB – VBE) / RB IB = (5 - 0.7) / 220 IB = 0.020A or 20mA
IC = β * IB = 150 * 0.020 = 3mA
ILED = (VCC – VCE – VLED) / RC = (5 - 0.2 - 1.5) / 4700 = 0.000664A or 0.664mA
(iii) IB = (VBB – VBE) / RB = (5 - 0.7) / 220 IB = 0.020A or 20mA
IC = β * IB = 75 * 0.020 = 1.5mA
IL = (VCC – VCE – VLED) / RC = (5 - 0.2 - 1.5) / 4700 = 0.000664A or 0.664mA
EXERCISE 2: MOSFET CHARACTERISTICS
RESULT ANALYSIS
Yes. The input characteristics of a MOSFET refer to the relationship between the gate-to-source
voltage (VGS) and the corresponding drain-to-source current (IDS) when the MOSFET is in the
saturation region.
(2) The input characteristics show the same drain current for the three values of VDS at low
values of VGS. Why do the curves separate at high values of VGS?
At high values of VGS, the curves for different values of VDS separate because the voltage drop
across the channel becomes a significant factor in determining the drain current. This voltage drop
causes the effective gate-to-source voltage to decrease, which reduces the strength of the electric field
in the channel and lowers the drain current.
(3) On each of the output characteristic curves, plot the point at which VDS = VGS – Vth. Plot a
graph to join the points. What does it signify?
The significance of the pinch-off line is that it determines the maximum drain current (ID,max)
that can flow through the MOSFET for a given gate-to-source voltage (VGS).
