CHAPTER 4 – REVIEW
BASIC FET AMPLIFIERS

Contents are created from Microelectronics Circuit Analysis and Design by Donald A. Neamen
In this chapter, we will:
❖Investigate a single-transistor circuit that can amplify a small, time-varying input signal
◦ Develop small-signal models that are used in the analysis of linear amplifiers.

❖Discuss and compare the three basic transistor amplifier configurations.


◦ Analyze the common-source amplifier.
◦ Analyze the source-follower amplifier.
◦ Analyze the common-gate amplifier.

❖Analyze multitransistor or multistage amplifiers.

NMOS Common-Source Circuit

Av = Vo Vi = − g m (ro RD )
Problem-Solving Technique:
MOSFET AC Analysis
1. Analyze circuit with only the dc sources to find quiescent solution. Transistor must be biased
in saturation region for linear amplifier.
2. Replace elements with small-signal model.
3. Analyze small-signal equivalent circuit, setting dc sources to zero, to produce the circuit to the
time-varying input signals only.
Common-Source Configuration

DC analysis:
Coupling capacitor is assumed
to be open.

AC analysis:
Coupling capacitor is assumed
to be a short. DC voltage
supply is set to zero volts.
