Question

For the MOSFET transistor shown in the below figure, operating region of the transistor is

• A. Triode
• B. Saturation
• C. Cutoff
• D. Velocity Saturation

Hint:

To identify the MOSFET operating region, remember the conditions for each region: Triode, Saturation, and Cutoff, based on the \(V_{DS}\) and \(V_{GS}\).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In a MOSFET, the operating region is determined based on the relationship between the drain-source voltage \(V_{DS}\) and the gate-source voltage \(V_{GS}\). For the transistor to operate in the saturation region, the condition \(V_{DS}>V_{GS} - V_{th}\) (threshold voltage) must be satisfied, where the transistor is able to amplify the signal efficiently. In the given scenario with a drain-source voltage of 22V, it satisfies the condition for the saturation region.

Conclusion: The correct operating region for this MOSFET is in the Saturation region.
