 ABSTRACT

This project focuses on the design and implementation of a Common

Source Amplifier utilizing MOSFET technology, specifically
configured with constant current biasing to achieve a targeted gain of

 INTRODUCTION
Amplifiers play a pivotal role in shaping and enhancing signals for a
most of all applications. One prominent configuration is the Common
Source Amplifier utilizing MOSFET technology. This project highlights
on the importances of designing and implementing a common-source
amplifier, employing MOSFETs and incorporating a constant current
biasing scheme to achieve a targeted gain of 9.
• Common Source Amplifiers are widely employed in electronic systems
for voltage amplification. Their single-stage configuration offers
simplicity and versatility, making them suitable for a range of
applications such as audio amplification, communication systems, and
sensor interfacing.
• MOSFETs with their advantageous characteristics like high input
impedance and low output impedance, are chosen as the active devices
for this amplifier. The MOSFET's ability to operate in saturation .

•Stability and linearity are one of the main characteristics in amplifier

design. The project incorporates a constant current biasing scheme to
maintain a consistent operating point for the MOSFET. This biasing
technique not only enhances the stability of the amplifier but also
ensures linear operation across a broad range of input signals.

• The primary objective of this project is to achieve a gain of 9. The gain

is a critical parameter in amplifier design, directly impacting the
amplification of input signals.
Careful consideration is given to the selection of MOSFET parameters,
such as transconductance (gm), and the load resistor (R) to realize the
desired gain.
 THEORY OF OPERATION

MOSFET is a type of transistor that is widely used

in electronic circuits for amplification, switching,
and signal processing. It consists of a metal gate
insulated from the semiconductor material by a
thin oxide layer.
MOSFET Structure:
• The basic MOSFET structure includes three terminals: the gate (G), the
source (S), and the drain (D). The conductivity between the source and
drain is controlled by the voltage applied to the gate.

Gate Voltage and Threshold:

• The MOSFET has a threshold voltage (Vth) that determines when it starts
conducting.The gate voltage must exceed this threshold to turn the
MOSFET on.

Biasing and Stability:

• For amplifier projects, biasing is essential to set the operating point of the
MOSFET in its active region. This ensures stability and linear operation.
Constant current biasing or resistor networks may be used to achieve this.

Output Characteristics:
• The MOSFET's output characteristics, such as drain current (ID) versus
drain-source voltage (VDs), are crucial for understanding its behavior in
different operating regions.

 CONCLUSION

Software:
Simulations provide accurate predictions based on theoretical
models.
Accuracy is dependent on the fidelity of the models and
assumptions made in simulation tools.
The threshold voltage is stored in the Multisim is way different
than the one we use in hardware where it’s a constant value for all
mosfets

• Hardware:
performance may closely match the hardware prototype.
Its Affected by non-idealities, tolerances, and
manufacturing variations.
The threshold voltage variable based on each mosfet but its all
should be with in a range
