- How can I design a socket for a trolley headlight? What parameters should I measure? The only thing I have is the headlight itself, and I don’t have any information about its power, current, or voltage rating. The power source is 120 V, and my goal is simply to get the headlight to turn on.I’m not sure where to start or what to measure. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!arrow_forwardFigure 2 3) *** The circuit of Figure 3 is designed with W/L = 20/0.18, λ= 0, and ID = 0.25 mA. (Optional- 20 points) a) Compute the required gate bias voltage. b) With such a gate voltage, how much can W/L be increased while M1 remains in saturation? What is the maximum voltage gain that can be achieved as W/L increases? VDD = 1.8 V RD 2k - Vout Vin M₁ Figure 3arrow_forward1) Rs = 4kQ, R₁ = 850 kQ, R₂ = 350 kQ, and R₁ = 4 kQ.
