MOS Circuits


Problem-Solving Technique:NMOSFET DC Analysis

1. Assume the transistor is in saturation.

a. VGS > VTN, ID > 0, & VDS ≥ VDS(sat)

2. Analyze circuit using saturation I-V relations.

3. Evaluate resulting bias condition of transistor.

a. If VGS < VTN, transistor is likely in cutoff

b. If VDS < VDS(sat), transistor is likely in nonsaturation region

4. If initial assumption is proven incorrect, make new assumption and repeat Steps 2 and 3.

Problem-Solving Technique:MOSFET AC Analysis

1. Analyze circuit with only the dc sources to find quiescent solution. Transistor must be biased in saturation region for linear amplifier.

2. Replace elements with small-signal model.

3. Analyze small-signal equivalent circuit, setting dc sources to zero, to produce the circuit to the time-varying input signals only.


Common-Source Configuration

DC analysis:

Coupling capacitor is assumed

to be open.

AC analysis:

Coupling capacitor is assumed

to be a short. DC voltage

supply is set to zero volts.
