Example 1:
Consider the amplifier circuit shown below. The
transistor is specified to have VTN = 0, 4V ,
Kn = 4mA/V 2 and VA = ∞. Also, let VDD = 1, 8V ,
RD = 17, 5K Ω and VGSQ = 0, 6V
(b) What is the maximum symmetrical signal swing
allowed at the drain? Hence find the maximum allowable
amplitude of a sinusoidal vgs
RG 2
Since IG = 0, using voltage divider: VG = VDD
RG 1 + RG 2

Example 2b:
(b) Calculate the input resistor seen from the source (in
vi
case of including load RL ): Ri =

To obtain the input resistance, we substitute in (2) for
vo = Av vgs = −gm RL0 vgs :
vgs + gm RL0 vgs 1 + gm RL0

Example 2c:
(c) Assume that vi has a sine waveform. Determine the
maximum amplitude that vi is allowed to have
The largest allowable input signal vi is constrained by the
need to keep the transistor in saturation at all times:
vDSmin ≥ vGSmax − VTN
→ VDSQ − |Av |avgs ≥ VGSQ + avgs − VTN
Since VDSQ = VGSQ :
