AC Analysis ● ● ● ● Sketch a small-signal model of the circuit in your lab book, replacing the transistor with its small-signal model, replacing the capacitors with short circuits (what happens to Rs?), and replacing VDD with an AC ground. Label the gate of the transistor as v₁, i.e., the small- signal voltage at the input. What is the ratio vo/Vsig? How would you approximate it in further calculations? Derive an expression for small signal gain. What is the value of Rp that produces a small- signal voltage gain of at least - 5 V/V? What is the DC voltage at the drain? Does this satisfy the assumption that the transistor should be operating in the saturation region? Explain. What is the output resistance, Ro? Show your work for calculating the output resistance. Simulation ● Simulate your circuit. Use capacitor values Cc1 = Cc2 = Cs = 47 uF (these values are large enough for coupling capacitors in this circuit), The values of Rs and RD based on your preceding calculations. Use a 10 mVpk_pk, and a 1-kHz sinusoid with no DC component applied at Vsig. • Firstly, run a DC simulation to confirm that the DC currents and voltages are consistent with your hand calculations. This is important to ensure that the transistor is biased properly and operating in the expected operation region. • From your simulation, report the DC values of VGS, VDs, and l. How closely do they match your calculations? • Next, run a transient simulation to observe the sinusoidal input with respect to time. Determine the small signal voltage gain, Av, of your circuit. How closely does it match expectations? What information can you take away from Be sure to include all supporting information from simulations (plots, measurement, etc.) ● ● ● Table 1: Given Design Parameters Parameter Value 15V 50Ω VDD Rsig R₁ RG1 ID 1mA | Av|=|Vo/Vsig | >= |-5V/V| = RG2 10kQ 10ΚΩ Table 2: Transistor Hand Analysis Values Parameter Vtn UnCox (W/L) VA Value 0.71V 4.5mA/V² 80V ● ● Usig ● Rsig www ● O CC1 Rin RGI VDD Vi RG2 +1₁ (a) 1₁ RD Cc₂ Rs +1₁ 1₁ Ro FIGURE 1 Common-source amplifier circuit, with coupling capacitors, and resistor RG for DC-biasing purposes.
