Answer to Problem 4.9EP
Av=0.77Ro=0.914 kΩ
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The given circuit is shown below.
VDD=5 V, RS=5 kΩR1=70.7 kΩ, R2=9.3 kΩRsi=500 Ω, λ=0VTP=−0.8 V, KP=0.4 mAV2
Calculation:
The coupling capacitor acts like open circuit for DC value calculation.
The modified circuit is:
The value of gate voltage is:
VG=R2R1+R2×VDDVG=9.370.7+9.3×5VG=9.3×580VG=0.58 V
From the circuit:
Vs=VDD−IDRSVs=5−5×103ID
The value of VSG is:
VSG=VS−VGVSG=5−5×103ID−0.58VSG=4.42−5×103ID
Assuming the transistor operates in saturation region:
ID=KP(VSG+VTP)2ID=0.4×10−3(4.42−5×103ID−0.8)2ID=0.4×10−3(3.62−5×103ID)2104ID2−15.48ID+5.24×10−3=0ID=1.048 mA,0.5 mA
The value of VSG is:
VSG=4.42−5×103IDID=1.048 mA,VSG=4.42−5×103×1.048×10−3VSG=−0.82VSG<|VTP|
Hence, the transistor would be in cutoff mode for ID=1.048 mA .
Plugging ID=0.5 mA,
VSG=4.42−5×103×0.5×10−3VSG=1.92 VVSG>|VTP|
The value of VSD is:
VSD=VS−VDVSD=5−5×103ID−0VSD=5−5×103×0.5×10−3VSD=2.5 V
VSD>VSG+VTP
Hence, the assumption is correct and transistor operates in saturation region.
The DC voltage source and coupling capacitor are short-circuited for small-signal equivalent circuit. It is common drain amplifier.
The modified circuit is:
The value of gm,ro is:
gm=2√KPIDgm=2√0.4×10−3×0.5×10−3gm=0.8944 mAVro=1λIDro=10×IDro=∞
The value of output voltage is:
Vo=(−gmVsg)(Rs||ro)Vo=(−gmVsg)Rs ...(1)
Applying Kirchhoff’s voltage law from input to output:
Vin=−Vsg+VoVin=−Vsg−(gmVsg)(Rs)Vsg=−Vin1+gm(Rs)
Applying voltage division rule in input:
Vin=(R1||R2)Rsi+(R1||R2)Vi
Hence, the value of Vsg is:
Vsg=−(R1||R2)(1+gmRs)(Rsi+(R1||R2))Vi
From equation (1):
Vo=−gm(Rs)−(R1||R2)(1+gmRs)(Rsi+(R1||R2))ViVoVi=gmRs(1+gmRs)(RiRsi+Ri)(Ri=R1||R2)Av=0.8944×51+0.8944×5(8.220.5+8.22)Av=0.77
The value of output resistance is:
Applying Kirchhoff’s current law at output node:
Ix=gmVsg+VxRs+Vxro
The value of current in input circuit is zero.
Vsg=Vx
Plugging the value:
Ix=gmVx+VxRs+VxroIx=Vx(gm+1Rs+1ro)IxVx=gm+1Rs+1ro1Ro=gm+1Rs+1roRo=1gm||Rs||ro
Plugging the values:
Ro=1gm||Rs||roRo=10.8944||5 (ro=∞)Ro=0.914 kΩ
