Solution of Problems for Chapter 4

Answer 1:

(a) We know that

IR
I O = I C1 = I C 2 =

1+

 2  2 
 I R = I O 1 +  = 5A1 +  = 5.1A
   100 
Now
V − VBE1
I R = CC
R1
V − VBE1 30 − 0.7
 R1 = CC = = 5.75M
IR 5.1A

(b) Again

RO =
V A 150
= = 30M and VTH = V A = 150V
I C 2 5A
The collector current ratio is
V

I C1 VCE1 0 .7
1+ 1+

Answer 2:

We know,
V DS 1
I D1 = K P1 (VGS 1 − Vt ) 2 (1 + )
VM
 5
 50 A = K P1 (1.5 − 1) 2 1 + 
 10 
 K P1 = 133.3 A V 2
Now,
1 W1 K x
K P1 =
2 L1
2 K P1 L1 2  133.3 A V 2  10m
 W1 = = = 133m
Kx 20 A V 2
According to the circuit,
 1 1
I D 2 = I R = K P 2 (VGS 2 − Vt 2 ) 2 (1 + VGS 2 ) where, = = and
VM 10
VGS 2 = V DS 2 = VGS 1

 1.5 
 40A = K P 2 (1.5 − 1) 2 1 + 
 10 
 K P 2 = 139.1 A V 2
and
2 K P 2 L2 2  139.1 A V 2  10m
 W2 = = = 139.1m
Kx 20 A V 2
Now,
VGS 3 = V DS 3 = V DD − V DS 2 = V DD − VGS 1 = 10 − 1.5 = 8.5V
Since, I D 2 = I D 3 = I R

 I D3 = K P 3 (VGS 3 − Vt 3 ) 2 (1 + V DS 3 )
 8.5 
 40 A = K P 3 (8.5 − 1) 2 1 + 
 10 
 K P 3 = 0.384 A V 2
and
2 K P3 L3 2  0.384 A V 2  10m
 W3 = = = 0.384m
Kx 20 A V 2
1 i D1 K P1 I
 = = (VGS − Vt ) 2  D1
rds1 v DS 1 V M VM

Thus, the small-signal output resistance of the current source becomes

RO = rds1 = = = = 300k
