Question:

The MOSFET current-source circuit in Figure 1 has circuit parameters given as V+ = 2.5 V, V =
0 V and R = 20 k. The transistor parameters are VTN = 0.5 V, kn = 80 A/V2, (W/L)1,2 = 6, and
= 0. Determine IREF, IO and VDS2(sat).

Show all your calculations with proper units.

Solving for VGS1 = 0.1810 V [1]or -1.381 V


Substituting back into (1),
