  ID=0.21mA

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

  VTP=0.5V,kp'=50μAV2W=12μm,L=0.8μm,VSG=2VVSD=0.2V

Calculation:

The value of conduction parameter Kp is determined as below:

  Kp=kp'2(WL)=50 μA V 2 2( 12μm 0.8μm)=375μAV2

The value of VSD(sat)

is determined as:

  VSD(sat)=VSG|VTP|=2|0.5|=20.5=1.5V

Here, VSD<VSD(sat) .

Hence, the transistor operates in triode region.

The value of drain current is:

  ID=Kp[2( V SG| V TP |)VSDVSD2]=375μAV2[2(1.5)(0.2)( 0.2)2]=210μA=0.21mA
