All Questions are to be answered compulsorily and carry equal marks
Q.No Question Description Marks
1 Illustration of MOS device structure and show that the device dimensions are
very important in the performance of MOS device. What were the typical values
of Leff and tox achieved?
2 Using expressions of ID, RON and gm and showing channel length modulation in
device structure, from designer’s point of view show why W/L and Cox for a
given gate voltage play a vital role in device characteristics.
3 Explain the differences in MOS device characteristics in saturation, edge of
saturation and deep triode region. Use VDS and ID curves for different VGS values.
4 What are various parasitic capacitances due to and how they contributing to
different behavior of MOS device at high frequencies?
5 Interpret the complete MOS device model from operational point of view of low
frequency and high frequency . (Hint: High frequency model has capacitances).
6 For W/L=60/5 and ID= 0.6mA, calculate the transconductance and output
resistance of both PMOS and NMOS devices. Also find the intrinsic gain. Given
µnCox= 60µA/V , Assume any data required suitably.
7 Analyze a basic current mirror circuit.
8 For a two MOS transistor current amplifier, with L1=L2, for a ratio current error
of +/-0.025, for W2=20+/-0.01µm, find tolerance in W1, if W1=5µm. For the
same amplifier for a ratio error of +/-0.05, with same W2, find W1 and comment
on the result.
9 Develop the circuit of a standard cascade current sink circuit and interpret its
characteristic.
10 Examine the band gap voltage reference circuit.
11 Analyze a CS amplifier circuit with diode connected load.
12 Explain the working of pn junction voltage reference.
