Transcribed Image Text:### Problem 4.15: NMOS Common-Source Amplifier
For the NMOS common-source amplifier in Figure P4.15, the transistor parameters are given as follows:
- Threshold voltage: \( V_{TN} = 0.8 \, \text{V} \)
- Transconductance parameter: \( K_n = 1 \, \text{mA/V}^2 \)
- Channel-length modulation parameter: \( \lambda = 0 \)
**Circuit Parameters:**
- \( V_{DD} = 5 \, \text{V} \)
- \( R_S = 1 \, \text{k}\Omega \)
- \( R_D = 4 \, \text{k}\Omega \)
- \( R_1 = 225 \, \text{k}\Omega \)
- \( R_2 = 175 \, \text{k}\Omega \)
#### Tasks:
(a) **Quiescent Values Calculation:**
Calculate the quiescent values \( I_{DQ} \) and \( V_{DSQ} \).
(b) **Small-Signal Voltage Gain:**
Determine the small-signal voltage gain for \( R_L = \infty \).
(c) **Adjusting Load Resistance:**
Determine the value of \( R_L \) that will reduce the small-signal voltage gain to 75 percent of the value found in part (b).
#### Circuit Diagram Explanation:
- **Components:**
- \( V_{DD} \): Power supply voltage connected at the top.
- \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \): Biasing resistors forming a voltage divider.
- \( R_S \): Source resistor connected from the source to ground.
- \( R_D \): Drain resistor connected from the drain to \( V_{DD} \).
- \( R_L \): Load resistor connected at the output.
- \( C_{C1} \) and \( C_{C2} \): Coupling capacitors isolating DC biasing.
- \( \text{NMOS transistor}\): Main amplifying device.
- \( v_i \): Input signal.
- \( v_o \): Output signal across \( R_L \).
- **Operational Details:**
- The circuit amplifies the input signal \( v_i \) and outputs it as \( v_o \) with increased amplitude, depending on the voltage gain
