An NMOS technology has μnCox = 50 μA/V2 and Vt = 0.7 V. For a transistor with L = 1μm, find the value of W that results in gm 1mA/V at ID = 0.5 mA.
Consider an NMOS transistor having kn= 2 mA/V2. Let the transistor be biased at VOV = 1V. For operation in saturation, what dc bias current ID results? If a +0.1-V signal is superimposed on VGS, find the corresponding increment in collector current by evaluating the total collector current ID and subtracting the dc bias current ID.

We know ID =1/2 kn (VGS + vgs – Vt)2. Let the signal vgs be a sine wave with amplitude Vgs, and substitute vgs = Vgs sin ω t in Eq.(5.43). Using the trigonometric identity show that the ratio of the signal at frequency 2ω to that at frequency ω , expressed as a percentage (known as the second-harmonic distortion) is
If in a particular application Vgs is 10 mV, find the minimum overdrive voltage at which the transistor should be operated so that the second-harmonic distortion is kept to less than 1%.
(Q.5-Q.7) An NMOS amplifier is to be designed to provide a 0.50-V peak output signal across a 50-kΩ load that can be used as a drain resistor.
