1 BJT Amplifier
The following figure shows a BJT amplifier, which we are going to analyze.The transistor has β = 160, and VA = 100 Volts. RS is part of the source.The input and output voltages are at the indicated locations, vin and vout,respectively.

1 BJT AMPLIFIER 1.1 Amplifier Type
1.1 Amplifier Type
What type of amplifier is it? Common Collector or Emitter Follower
What is the typical situation in which this amplifier is used?
The following figure shows an amplifier using a discrete FET and a resistor.The transistor has a drain current of 250 µAmp when VGS = 5 Volts, andthe threshold voltage is zero. The Early Voltage is VA = 70 Volts.
What type of amplifier is it? Common Drain
What is the typical situation in which this amplifier is used?
The figure below shows a CMOS amplifier. The transistors are all the same,and have a drain current of 250 µAmp when VGS = 5 Volts, and the thresholdvoltage is zero (This is the same as in Problem 2). However, in this case,VA = 100 Volts.
3.1 Amplifier Type
What type of amplifier is it? Common Drain
What is the typical situation in which this amplifier is used?
The following figure shows a CMOS digital logic circuit. As usual, +5 Voltsrepresents “true,” and zero represents “false.” There are two inputs, V A andV B, and one output, Vout at the voltage probe shown in the figure.
4.1 Truth Table
Construct the truth table for this circuit, for all possible combinations ofinputs V A and V B being “true” or “false.”
The following figure shows output voltage as a function of input voltage, V A.In the figure, the bottom curve (along the Vout = 0 axis) is for V B = 5, thenext curve is for V B = 2.5 Volts and the top curve is for V B = 0 Volts.Explain these curves in terms of what you know about FETs.
VB = 5 V: Output Always Low
VB = 0 V: Output changes with VA.
Similar to VB = 0 V but M4 is only partially on.
4.3 Current
Draw a plot of the current, iD as a function of V A for V B = 5 Volts. Youdon’t need to provide a correct current axis, because I have not given you
