Exercise 4.10 Basic amplifiers with an NPN and an NMOS transistor
The figure below shows two single transistor amplifiers.
a)
Suppose you have full freedom in choosing the supply voltage, the resistor and capacitor values,
the size of the transistors (so
for the bipolar transistor), how would you dimension/bias the bipolar circuit to achieve maximum
voltage gain?
b)
Suppose you have full freedom in choosing the supply voltage, the resistor and capacitor values,
the size of the transistors (the
of the MOSFET), etc., how would you dimension/bias the MOS circuit to achieve maximum
voltage gain?
c)
Compare the maximum achievable voltage gain, assuming the same supply voltage and
compare the corresponding dimensioning for the two circuits to achieve that.
