To sketch: A load line and labelQ -point.

To find: The region of operation of transistor.

Answer to Problem 3.27P

The transistor operates in triode region.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The given circuit is shown below.

  Microelectronics: Circuit Analysis and Design, Chapter 3, Problem 3.27P , additional homework tip  1

  VTN=0.8V,Kn=0.25mAV2VDD=4V,RD=1

Calculation:

The value of VGS is:

  VGS=VGVSVGS=VDD0VGS=4V

The value of VDS(sat) is:

  VDS(sat)=VGSVTNVDS(sat)=40.8VDS(sat)=3.2V

Applying Kirchhoff’s voltage in drain-source terminal:

  VDS=VDDIDRDVDS=41000ID...(1)

Assuming the Mosfet operates in triode region:

The expression of drain current in triode region:

  ID=Kn[2( V GS V TN)VDSVDS2]ID=0.25×103[2(40.8)(41000 I D)( 41000 I D )2]ID=0.25×103[6.4(41000 I D)( 41000 I D )2]ID=0.25×103[(41000 I D)(6.44+1000 I D)]ID=0.25×103[(41000 I D)(2.4+1000 I D)]ID=0.25×103[9.6+4000ID2400ID106ID2]ID=2.4×103+0.4ID250ID2250ID2+0.6ID2.4×103=0ID=2.12mA

From equation (1):

  VDS=41000IDVDS=41000(2.12× 10 3)VDS=1.88V

From above calculations:

  VDS<VDS(sat)

Hence, the assumption is correct and the transistor is biased in triode region.

The value of Q -point is:

  (VDSQ,IDQ)=(1.88V, 2.12mA)

The diagram of load line is sketched as follows:

From equation (1):

  VDS=41000IDID=1×103VDS+4×103

It is equation of straight line with negative slope.

  y=mx+c

At ID=0 ,

  ID=1×103VDS+4×1030=1×103VDS+4×103VDS=4V

At VDS=0 ,

  ID=1×103×0+4×103ID=4mA
