Homework Statement
This problem is given to me by programme inductor, and I just copy the whole description here so every given element is the same as what he/she gives. I'm confused with the given conditions.
1) What is the transconductance (gm) of a MOSFET biased at W=L=1um,
uCox=0.01A/V^2, Vg= 1V and Vd=1V?
2) For the same transistor with a load resistance of 100ohm, what is the
voltage gain?
Homework Equations
Triode mode or linear region, When VGS > Vth and VDS < ( VGS – Vth )
[tex]I_D=\mu_nC_{ox}\frac{W}{L}((V_{GS}-V_{th})V_{DS}-\frac{V_{DS}^2}{2})[/tex]
Saturation or active mode, When VGS > Vth and VDS > ( VGS – Vth )
[tex]I_D=\frac{\mu_nC_{ox}}{2}\frac{W}{L}(V_{GS}-V_{th})^2(1+\lambda (V_{DS}-V_{DSsat}))[/tex]
or
[tex]I_D \approx \frac{\mu_nC_{ox}}{2}\frac{W}{L}(V_{GS}-V_{th})^2 [/tex]
The derivation is http://ecee.colorado.edu/~bart/book/book/chapter7/ch7_3.htm" .
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm afraid the threshold voltage Vth should be given to do the calculation, besides, Vg=Vd=1V here so the transistor should be in Saturation Mode , should I assume the value of Vth by myself or just assume that Vg-Vth is approximately equal to Vd ?
