Abstract
In this lab we studied the characteristics of MOSFETS including threshold voltage, output impedance, and I-V curves. We will also study MOSFET amplifiers. We will also measure the output impedances, input impedances, and operating points. Introduction and Background
This lab experiment will consist of both a hardware and software section. In the simulation we will find Id-Vds and Id-Vgs curves of the MOSFET circuits. Once doing this, we will see the MOSFET used in both the common source and source follower amplifier configurations. Our findings in the software section of the lab will be compared to our measurements in the hardware
portion of the lab.

Discussion of Results
1.
In part I of simulation, as Vgs increased, the maximum value of the Id-Vds curve increases. When Vgs is 0, the curve’s peak value is 0A. When Vgs is instead 1 V, the curve then reaches 10uA. Once again when Vgs is 2V, the curves hits 40uA. The next thing I did in this section of the lab is taking Id-Vgs measurements. These measurements
show Id increasing from 0 to 40 uA as Vgs increased from 0 to 2V. For both hardware and software the common-source amplifier configuration had very similar results. For both simulation and hardware, input current was very low. Output current, voltage gain, current gain, and power gain were also very close to each other between the hardware and simulation portions. Power gain usually differs the most between hardware and software portions, however, in simulation we calculated power gain to be 831, in hardware we calculated power gain to be 801. These values are very close. The source-follower amplifier measurements were also very consistent between the software and hardware portions. The source-follower amplifier does have a higher input current (0.019mA) than the common-source amplifier configuration which had an input
current of around 0.0015 mA. The output current, however, was very similar between the
two configurations (0.115 and 0.123mA). The biggest area of difference for the source-
follower and common-source configurations was power gain. For the source-follower, power gain was 6.88. For the common-source amplifier, the power gain was 801. 2. And 3.

BONUS:
The Common-Source Amplifier is inverting, has high input AND output resistances, a high voltage gain, high current gain, and a high power gain.
The Source-Follower Amplifier is non-inverting, has a high input resistance, low output resistance, has a gain of around 1, a low current gain, and a low power gain.
Conclusion
Through this lab, I now have a better understanding of some very important MOSFET characteristics, especially when they are used in amplifier circuits. The results in the hardware portions and simulation portions of this lab were far more consistent than the results in the previous BJT lab. This circuit was far more stable than the BJT circuit we had to measure in the previous lab. Through the completion of this lab, I now understand that the source-follower can be utilized as a voltage buffer whereas the common-source amplifier configuration is best used for voltage amplification.
