Summary
The Common-Source Amplifier
In a CS amplifier, the input +VDD
signal is applied to the gate

RD
and the output signal is taken C3
Vout
C1
from the drain. The amplifier
has higher input resistance RL
and lower gain than the Vin RG RS C2
equivalent CE amplifier.
The voltage gain is given by the equation Av = gmRd.
Summary
Recall that conductance is the reciprocal of resistance and admittance

is the reciprocal of impedance. Data sheets typically specify the
forward transfer admittance, yfs rather than transconductance, gm. The
definition of yfs is ∆I

You can estimate what the transfer
characteristic looks like from values on
the specification sheet, but keep in mind
that large variations are common with
JFETs. For example, the range of 2

To analyze the CS amplifier. you need to start with dc values. It is useful

to estimate ID based on typical values; specific circuits will vary from
this estimate.

Summary
The D-MOSFET
In operation, the D-MOSFET has the unique property in that it can be
operated with zero bias, allowing the signal to swing above and below
ground. This means that it can operate in either D-mode or E-mode.

Summary
The Cascode Amplifier
The cascode connection is

a combination of CS and
CG amplifiers. This forms
a good high-frequency
amplifier. The input and
output signals at 10 MHz
are shown for this circuit
on the following slide…
Summary
The Cascode Amplifier

cascode amplifier is
shown in red; the output
is blue. What is the gain?

24.7 mV.
The peak of the output
is 2.33 V.
AV = 94.3
Summary
The Class-D Amplifier
MOSFETs are useful as class-D amplifiers, which are very efficient

because they operate as switching amplifiers. They use pulse width
modulation, a process in which the input signal is converted to a series
of pulses. The pulse width varies proportionally to the amplitude of the
input signal.
Pulse-width modulation is easy to set up in Multisim. The

following slide shows the circuit. A sine wave is compared to a
faster triangle wave of the about the same amplitude using a
comparator (a 741 op-amp can be used at low frequencies).

The Analog Switch
MOSFETs are also used as analog switches to connect or disconnect an

analog signal. Analog switches are available in IC form – for example

MOSFETs. The configuration shown allows signals to be passed in
