Aim: Simulate AC, transient and DC response of MOSFET single stage CS amplifier.
Software: Multisim software
Theory: Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor, or MOSFET for short, is an
excellent choice for small signal linear amplifiers as their input impedance is extremely high
making them easy to bias. But for a MOSFET to produce linear amplification, it has to
operate in its saturation region, unlike the Bipolar Junction Transistor. But just like the BJT,
it too needs to be biased around a centrally fixed Q-point.
Basic Common-Source MOSFET Amplifier:
Consider the basic MOSFET amplifier circuit shown below. If we apply a small time-varying
signal to the input, then under the right circumstances the MOSFET circuit can act as a linear
amplifier providing the transistors Q-point is somewhere near the center of the saturation
region, and the input signal is small enough for the output to remain linear.
Fig. 1. Circuit Diagram
This simple enhancement-mode common source MOSFET amplifier configuration uses a

single supply at the drain and generates the required gate voltage, VG using a resistor divider.
We remember that for a MOSFET, no current flows into the gate terminal and from this we
can make the following basic assumptions about the MOSFET amplifiers DC operating
conditions.

and the gate-to-source voltage, VGS is given as:
For proper operation of the MOSFET, this gate-source voltage must be greater than the
threshold voltage of the MOSFET, that is VGS > VTH. Since IS = ID, the gate voltage, VG is
therefore equal to:
To set the MOSFET amplifier gate voltage to this value we select the values of the
resistors, R1 and R2 within the voltage divider network to the correct values. As we know
from above, “no current” flows into the gate terminal of a MOSFET so the formula for
voltage division is given as:
Graphical representations of frequency response curves are called Bode Plots and as such
Bode plots are generally said to be a semi-logarithmic graphs because one scale (x-axis) is
logarithmic and the other (y-axis) is linear (log-lin plot) as shown.

Frequency Response Curve
Then we can see that the frequency response of any given circuit is the variation in its
behavior with changes in the input signal frequency as it shows the band of frequencies over
which the output (and the gain) remains fairly constant. The range of frequencies either big or
small between ƒL and ƒH is called the circuit’s bandwidth. So from this we are able to
determine at a glance the voltage gain (in dB) for any sinusoidal input within a given
frequency range.
As mentioned above, the Bode diagram is a logarithmic presentation of the frequency

response. Most modern audio amplifiers have a flat frequency response as shown above over
the whole audio range of frequencies from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. This range of frequencies, for an

4
audio amplifier is called its Bandwidth, (BW) and is primarily determined by the frequency
response of the circuit.
Frequency points ƒL and ƒH relate to the lower corner or cut-off frequency and the upper
corner or cut-off frequency points respectively were the circuit gain falls off at high and low
frequencies. These points on a frequency response curve are known commonly as the -3dB
(decibel) points. So the bandwidth is simply given as:
Bandwidth ( BW ) =F H −F L
Procedure:
1. Draw the CS amplifier circuit using n-channel MOSFET (2N7000) in MultiSim.

2. Observe input and output waveform either by connecting function generator and CRO
to the circuit or by running transient analysis.
3. Do AC analysis and observe the frequency response (magnitude and phase response).
4. Calculate gain of amplifier either from transient response or AC response.
5. Also calculate 3-dB bandwidth from magnitude response.
