Schematic

Shows the gain and inversion of a common-source NMOS amplifier.

Circuit Summary

A bias network sets the NMOS operating point, with a drain resistor converting current changes to voltage.

Expected Behavior

  • Small-signal output is inverted relative to the input.
  • Gain depends on bias point and drain resistor value.

How To Run

  1. Open NMOS-Amplifier-CS.kicad_sch in KiCad.
  2. Click Simulate and run the configured analyses.
  3. Add probes to the key nodes to view the expected behavior.

Notes

  • Sweep the gate bias to explore linear vs. cutoff regions.
