For all circuits, do not consider channel length modulation for calculating bias points. Unless otherwise specified, channel length modulation
effect needs to be considered for small-signal analysis. All answers should be given to the second decimal place.
Course outline
General hints: small-signal output resistance of a MOSFET rDS = 1/(λ·I D ); For determining output resistance of longer-than-minimum-length
About NPTEL () devices, use the relation λ·L = constant; Remember that overdrive or saturation voltage VOV = VDS,sat = VGS - VT . To calculate noise with reactive
components, use the magnitude of complex impedances (or its square) to determine the noise voltage/current densities (or its square).
How does an NPTEL
online course work? () Circuit and device parameters are:
Vdd = 5V; VTn = VTp = 1V; μn Cox = 50μA/V2 ; μp Cox = 25μA/V2 ; λn = λp = 0.01 V -1 for Lmin = 1 μm
