Problem 11.1
Solution:
Known quantities:
For the transistors shown in Figure P11.1, VT = 3 V .
Find:
The operating state of each transistor.
Analysis:
a) This is an n-channel enhancement MOSFET, with VT = -
3 V. To operate in the triode region, the condition
is: v DS < vGS − VT . To operate in the saturation region,
the condition is: v DS ≥ vGS − VT . To turn the transistor
on, the condition is: vGS > VT .
We can compute: vGS = −2.5 V v DS = 2.5 V vGS − VT = −2.5 + 3 = 0.5 V
v DS = 2.5 V > v GS − VT = 0.5 V .
Therefore, the transistor is in the saturation region.
b) This is a p-channel enhancement MOSFET, with VT = 3 V. To operate in the triode region, the condition
is: v DS > vGS − VT . To operate in the saturation region, the condition is: v DS ≤ vGS − VT . To turn the
transistor on, the condition is: vGS < VT .
We can compute: vGS = 2 V v DS = −1 V vGS − VT = 2 − 3 = −1 V
v DS = −1 V > v GS − VT = −1 V .
Therefore, the transistor is in the saturation region.
c) This is a p-channel enhancement MOSFET, with VT = - 3 V. To operate in the triode region, the condition
is: v DS > vGS − VT . To operate in the saturation region, the condition is: v DS ≤ vGS − VT . To turn the
transistor on, the condition is: vGS < VT .
We can compute: vGS = −5 V v DS = −1 V vGS − VT = −5 + 3 = −2 V
v DS = −1 V > v GS − VT = −2 V .
Therefore, the transistor is in the triode region.
d) This is an n-channel enhancement MOSFET, with VT = - 3 V. To operate in the triode region, the condition
is: v DS < vGS − VT . To operate in the saturation region, the condition is: v DS ≥ vGS − VT . To turn the
transistor on, the condition is: vGS > VT .
We have: vGS = −2 V > VT .
vGS − VT = −2 + 3 = 1 V
v DS = 6V > vGS − VT = 1 V
Therefore, the transistor is in the saturation region.

Problem 11.4
Solution:
Known quantities:
The threshold voltage, VT = 2 V, of the p-channel transistor
shown in Figure P11.4. k = 10 mA/V 2 .
Find:
R and vD for id = 0.4 mA .
Analysis:
The device shown is a p-channel enhancement mode MOSFET, with , VT = 2 V and , VDG = 0 V. To operate in the
saturation region we require: v DS ≥ vGS − VT .
Since v DG = v DS − vGS = 0 > −VT = −2 V , the transistor is in the saturation region. Knowing k = 10 mA/V 2 , we
can write: 0.4 = 10(vGS − 2) 2 and determine v D = v DS = vGS = 2.2 V . R can be found as follows:
20 − v D 20 − 2.2
R= = = 44.5 kΩ
iD 0.4 ⋅ 10 −3
Problem 11.5
Solution:
Known quantities:
The threshold voltage, VT = 2 V, of an enhancement-type NMOS transistor. iD = 1 mA when vGS = vDS = 3 V.
Find:
The value of iD for vGS = 4 V.
Analysis:
Because v DS > vGS − VT , the transistor is in the saturation region:
i D = k ⋅ (vGS − VT ) 2 = k ⋅ (3 − 2) 2 = 0.001 A
⇒ k = 0.001 .
For vGS = 4 V we have:
2
i D = 0.001 ⋅ (4 − 2) = 4 mA .

vDS = 0.4 V, VT = 3.2 V. Effective resistance of the channel, given by: R DS = Ω.
(vGS − 3.2)
Find:
The value of iD when vGS = 5 V, RDS = 500 Ω, and vGD = 4 V.
Analysis:
Since V DS = 0.4 < vGS − VT = 5 − 3.2 = 1.8 V ,the transistor is operating in the ohmic region. The effective
500 VDS V
resistance is: R DS = = 277.78 Ω . Since RDS = , we have: i D = DS = 1.44 mA .

connected to the gate.
Find:
The operating state if:
a) v D = 0.5 V
b) v D = 1.5 V
Analysis:
a) vDS = 0.5 < vGS - VT = 4 – 2.5 = 1.5 V, therefore the transistor is in the triode region.
b) vD = 1.5 V = vDS , therefore the transistor is at the border of the saturation and triode regions.

Problem 11.8
Solution:
Known quantities:
The threshold voltage, VT = 4 V, of an enhancement-type NMOS. iD = 1 mA when vGS = vDS = 6 V.
Find:
The value of iD when vGS = 5 V.
Analysis:
From 0.001 = k(6 - 4)2, we have k = 0.25×10-3
For vGS = 5 V, and assuming active operation: iD = 0.25×10-3(5 - 4)2 = 0.25 mA.
Problem 11.9
Solution:
Known quantities:
The threshold voltage, VT = 1.5 V, of the NMOS transistor shown
in Figure P11.9. k = 0.4 mA/V 2 .
Find:
The voltage levels of the pulse signal at the drain output, if vG is a
pulse with 0 V to 5 V.
Analysis:
Since VT = 1.5 V, with vG = 0 V, vGS < VT, the transistor is cut off. Therefore, vD = 5 V.
When vG = 5 V, and assuming that the transistor is in the active region:
iD = k (vGS - VT)2 = 0.4 (5 - 1.5)2 = 4.9 mA. Therefore, vD = 5 - 4.9×1 = 0.1 V.

[
i D = K 2(vGS − VT )v DS − v DS

Problem 11.11
Solution:
Known quantities:
In the circuit shown in Figure P11.11, the MOSFET operates
in the active region.
Find:
a) RD
b) The largest allowable value of RD for the MOSFET to
remain in the saturation region.
Analysis:
Since the transistor is in the saturation region and iD = 0.5 mA , we have
iD = K (vGS − VT )2
0.5 = 0.5(vGS + 1)2
and vGS = −2 V; vGS < VT = −1 . Since the source is at 10 V, the gate voltage must be 8 V. Thus, we can select
R1 = 1 MΩ and R2 = 4 MΩ to obtain this operating condition.
(a) RD can be found to be
V 8V
RD = D = = 16 kΩ
i D 0.5 mA
(b) Saturation region operation would be maintained when VD exceeds VG by |VT|,
VD max = 8 + 1 = 9 V
Therefore,

i D = DD − DS = 2 − 0.2 v DS
RD RD
By superimposing the load line on Figure P11.13(a), and by
noticing that VGS = VGG = 7 V , we obtain
i DQ = 0.8 A, v DSQ = 6 V
The MOSFET is in the saturation region.
Problem 11.14
Solution:
Known quantities:
The circuit in Figure P11.13(b):
VGG = 7 V, VDD = 20 V,VT = 3V, RD = 5 Ω,K = 50 mA/V2
Find:
The current iDQ the voltage vDSQ, and the region of operation of the MOSFET.
Analysis:
Assuming that the MOSFET is in the saturation region, the quiescent drain current is
2
i DQ = K (vGSQ − VT ) 2 = 0.05(7 − 3) = 0.8 A
The drain-to-source voltage is
v DSQ = VDD − RDi DQ = 20 − 5 ⋅ 0.8 = 16 V
Since v DG = v DS − vGS = 9V > VT ⇒ hypothesis was correct

Problem 11.15
Solution:
Known quantities:
The circuit in Figure 11.9 in the text:
VDD = 36 V,VT = 4 V, RD = 10 kΩ,R1 = R2 = 2 MΩ,K = 0.1 mA/V2
Find:
The current iDQ, the voltage vDSQ, the resistance RS, and the operating region of the MOSFET.
Analysis:
Using Thevenin equivalent,
R2
VGG = VDD = 18 V
R1 + R2
We can write the equations
VGG = vGSQ + RS i DQ = 18,
V DD = ( R D + RS )i DQ + v DSQ = R D i DQ + 18 − vGSQ + v DSQ = 36 ⇒ R D i DQ + v DSQ = 18 + vGSQ
Assuming saturation conditions, the current iD can be written as
i DQ = K (vGSQ − VT ) 2 ⇒ vGSQ + RS K (vGSQ − VT ) 2 = 18
and
RD K (vGSQ − VT ) 2 + v DSQ = 18 + vGSQ
Notice that the problem has more unknown than equations; we can impose the vDSQ to ensure saturation conditions
as
v DSQ = V DD / 2 = 18 V ⇒
(vGSQ − VT ) 2 = vGSQ ⇒ vGSQ
2
− 9vGSQ + 16 = 0 ⇒ vGSQ = 6.56 V
Remark: The other solution of the algebraic equation is not acceptable because < VT.

We can write the equations

V DD = ( R D + RS )i DQ + v DSQ = 2 R D i DQ + v DSQ = 12
Assuming saturation conditions, the current iD can be written as

Problem 11.17
Solution:
Known quantities:
The power MOSFET circuit shown in Figure P11.17.
Find:
a) If VG = 5 V , find the range of RL for which the
VCCS will operate.
b) If RL = 1 Ω , determine the range of VG for which the
VCCS will operate.
Analysis:
The MOSFET should be working in the saturation region, so vGD < 3 ⇒ VD > VG − 3
a) VG = 5 V , I D = K (vGS − VT )2 = 1.5(5 − 3)2 = 6 A so
10
VD = 12 − RL I D > VG − 3 = 2 ⇒ RL < Ω
6
b) VD = 12 − RL I D > VG − 3 ⇒ VG < 9 − RL I D = 9 − I D
I D = K (vGS − VT )2 = K (VG − VT )2
Solve the above two equations, we can have
I D = 8.36 A or I D = 4.31 A
Obviously, the second one is reasonable, so
VG < 9 − I D = 4.69 V
Problem 11.18
Solution:

The circuit in Figure P11.18:
Find:
a) Determine I L if
VDD = 12 V, VG = 10 V, VT = 4 V, RL = 2 Ω, K = 0.5 A/V 2
b) If the power rating of the MOSFET is 50 W, how small can RL be.
Analysis:
a) Since vGD = 10 − 12 < VT = 4 V , MOSFET is working in the saturation region
VL = VG − VT = 10 − 4 = 6 V
V 6
So I L = L = = 3 A
RL 2
Pmax 50
b) Pmax = v DS I D = 50 W ⇒ I L max = I D = = = 8.33 A
vDS 12 − 6

Assume the drain current in the MOSFET in the left hand side is iD1 and in the right hand side iD 2 . Obviously,
both MOSFET are working in saturation region.
a) iD1 = K (vGS1 − VT )2 = K (VG1 − VT )2 = 1 A
VG 2 = VD1 = VDD − R × iD1 = 12 − 2 × 1 = 10 V
iD 2 = K (vGS 2 − VT )2 = K (VG 2 − R × iD 2 − VT )2
Solve it and we can have iD 2 = 2.68 or 4.57 A
Obviously, the first solution is reasonable, so I L = iD 2 = 2.68 A and VL = R × I L = 5.36 V
b) iD1 = K (vGS1 − VT )2 = K (VG1 − VT )2 = 4 A VG 2 = VD1 = VDD − R × iD1 = 12 − 2 × 4 = 4 V
iD 2 = K (vGS 2 − VT )2 = K (VG 2 − R × iD 2 − VT )2 Solve it and we can have iD 2 = 0.25 or 1 A
Obviously, the first solution is reasonable, so I L = iD 2 = 0.25 A and VL = R × I L = 0.5 V
c) Basically, the signal in c) part is a comparably small cosine signal superposed by the signal the in a) part. If we
ignore the harmonics larger than 1st order, we can approximately have the following solution
iD1 = 1 − 0.2 cos(750t ) A VG 2 = 10 + 0.4 cos(750t ) V
I L = iD 2 = 2.68 − 1.31 cos(750t ) A VL = 5.36 − 2.62 cos(750t ) V
