Ac Amplification With A Mosfet: Objective

The document describes constructing an AC amplifier circuit using a MOSFET. The objective is to produce an amplified output signal that faithfully reproduces the input signal. A MOSFET must be DC biased in saturation region to operate as an amplifier. The circuit uses a MOSFET, resistors, capacitors, and a sine wave voltage source. PSpice simulation is used to test the circuit and observe the output waveform on an oscilloscope.

AC AMPLIFICATION WITH A MOSFET

OBJECTIVE
The main goal of a MOSFET amplifier, or any amplifier for that matter, is to produce an output
signal that is a faithful reproduction of its input signal but amplified in magnitude. This input
signal could be a current or a voltage, but for a mosfet device to operate as an amplifier it must be
biased to operate within its saturation region.The threshold voltage is the minimum gate bias
required to enable the formation of the channel between the source and the drain. above this value
the drain current increases in proportion to (VGS – VTH)2 in the saturation region allowing it to
operate as an amplifier.The objectives thus are : study common‐source (CS) amplifier, the
MOSFET counterpart of the CE amplifier you studied in Lab 4 and Lab 5. We will learn small‐
signal parameters of MOSFET. We will also study CS amplifier with source degeneration.

EQUIPMENT USED AND ROLE OF EACH

Earthing (grounding) : Conductive systems that transfer the Earth's electrons from the ground into
the body.

Capacitor(0.1uF) : A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electronic component that stores


electrical energy in an electric field. The effect of a capacitor is known as capacitance.

Resistor(10kOhm, 1MegaOhm) : A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that


implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to
reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate
transmission lines, among other uses.

Dc voltage : In direct current (DC), the electric charge (current) only flows in one direction.
Electric charge in alternatingcurrent (AC), on the other hand, changes direction periodically.
The voltage in AC circuits also periodically reverses because the current changes direction.

VAC : Vsin : A sine wave input used for transient analysis; that is for viewing an output as a
function of time.

OrCAD PSpice : is a general purpose analog circuit simulator that is used to verify circuit designs
and to predict the circuit behavior. PSpice is a PC version of SPICE and HSpice is a version that
runs on workstations and larger computers.

V probe (voltmeter) : A voltmeter on PSpice, also known as a voltage meter, is an instrument used
for measuring the potential difference, or voltage, between two points in an electrical or electronic
circuit.

Digital Multimeter : Is a test tool used to measure two or more electrical values—principally
voltage (volts), current (amps) and resistance (ohms).

Breadboard : a solderless device for temporary prototype with electronics and test circuit designs.
Most electronic components in electronic circuits can be interconnected by inserting their leads or
terminals into the holes and then making connections through wires where appropriate.

I probe (Ammeter):  measuring instrument used to measure the current in a circuit. Electric


currents are measured in amperes (A)

MbreakN MOSFET : The metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor is a type of field-


effect transistor (FET), most commonly fabricated by the controlled oxidation of silicon.

Oscilloscope : laboratory instrument commonly used to display and analyze the waveform of
electronic signals. In effect, the device draws a graph of the instantaneous signal voltage as a
function of time.
