Question 1 Consider a non-ideal diode with the standard diode equation. iD is 1.6 milli-amperes. If vD
Correct changes by 1.3 milli-volt, what is the change in iD ? Give your answer in micro-amperes.
Assume vT = kT /q = 26 milli-volts.

Answer:
Flag question
80

Correct!
The standard equation for the diode is:
iD = IS (exp(vD /vT ) 1)

Splitting up the equation into its operating point and small-signal parts,
diD
iD = ID + id = ID + | vd
dv D VD

This gives:
id = IS exp(vD /vT )/vT vd = ID /vT vd

Plugging in values:
id = 1.6/26 1.3 1000 = 80

+
The correct answer is: 80 /- 0.8

VX is 7 volts, R1 and R2 are 0.1 and 3.1 kilo-ohms respectively. What is the current
through R2 ? Give your answer in milli-amperes.

Answer:
2.1875

Correct!

If the diode is ON, then the drop across the diode is 0.7 volts. Then a KCL at the anode
(negative terminal) of the diode will give:
(VX 0.7)/R 2 + 0.7/R 1 = ID

where ID is the current through the diode. The above gives ID of -4.97, a negative current,
which is not possible. Therefore the diode is OFF.
Given that the diode is OFF, the current through R2 is VX /(R1 + R2 ) or 2.1875 milli-
amperes.
+
The correct answer is: 2.1875 /- 0.021875

Question 3 In the circuit below, the n-channel MOS device operates according to the model:

If VX is 1.2 volts and vx is 2 milli-volts, what is id ? Give your answer in micro-amperes.

Answer:
43.2
 Correct!

Or, in other words,

diD
id = | vx = 2K (VX VT ) vx
dv GS VX

The correct answer is: 43.2 /- 2.16

Question 4 In the circuit above, as we apply a small signal voltage, vx , a small signal current id flows
Correct through the circuit. What is the small signal resistance of the circuit? Give your answer in
ohms.

Answer:
Flag question
46.29

Correct!
For a small signal vx , a small signal current id = 2K (VX VT ) vx flows through the
circuit. This means that the effective small signal resistance of the circuit is:
1
ro =
2K(VX VT )

+
The correct answer is: 46.296296296296 /- 2.3148148148148

Question 5 In the circuit below, for the nMOS device K is 36 milli-siemens per volt as above, VT is 0.9

RD is 1.08 kilo-ohms. Consider the device model as given above. What is the current, ID ?
Give your answer in milli-amperes.
 Answer:
2

Correct!

VGS = 3.3 ID R D

Therefore:
2
K (3.3 ID R D VT ) = ID

Solving the above quadratic, we obtain the value of I_D. There will be two solutions. The
larger of the two solutions is unreasonable because the corresponding
(VGS VT ) = (3.3 ID R D VT ) is negative.

+
The correct answer is: 2 /- 0.1

Question 6 In the circuit below, the p-channel MOS device operates according to the model:
2
Correct iD = K (vSG VT )

where K is 34 milli-siemens per volt and VT is 1.4 volts.

Flag question

If VX is 1.6 volts, and vx is 5 milli-volts, what is the small signal current id ? Give your
answer in micro-amperes.
The convention for current is to measure the current going into a node. For example, iD is
the current going into the drain.

Answer:
102

Correct!

iD = ID + id = K (3.3 VX VT ) + | vx

Or, in other words,

id = | vx = 2K (3.3 VX VT ) vx

+
The correct answer is: 102 /- 5.1

Question 7 In the circuit above, as we apply a small signal voltage, vx , a small signal current id flows
Correct through the circuit. What is the small signal resistance of the circuit? Give your answer in
ohms.

Answer:
Flag question
49.01

Correct!

For a small signal v x, a small signal current i d = 2K(V X V T) v x flows through the circuit.
This means that the effective small signal resistance of the circuit is:
1
ro =
2K ( 3.3 V X V T )

+
The correct answer is: 49.019607843137 /- 2.4509803921569

Question 8 In the circuit below, for the pMOS device \(K\) is 34 milli-siemens per volt as above, \(V_T\)

\(R_D\) is 0.88 kilo-ohms. Consider the device model as given above. What is the
magnitude of the current, \(I_D\)? Give your answer in milli-amperes.
The convention in analog electronics is that positive current flows from the top of the page
to the bottom of the page.
 Answer:
1.88

Correct!

\(V_{SG} = 3.3 - I_S R_D\)

where \(I_S = -I_D\) is the positive current flowing into the source.
Therefore:
\(K(3.3 - I_S R_D - V_T)^2 = I_S\)
Solving the above quadratic, we obtain the value of I_S. There will be two solutions. The
larger of the two solutions is unreasonable because the corresponding \((V_{GS} - V_T) =
(3.3-I_S R_D - V_T)\) is negative.

+
The correct answer is: 1.9 /- 0.095
