The Experiment:
The experiment is broken down into two exercises. The first exercise involves the simulation of
the circuit on PSpice using OrCAD-Capture module. The second one involves the practical setup
of the circuit and making required measurements, tabulation, and its analysis.
Theory:
MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) is a type of transistor that is
commonly used in electronic circuits as a switch or an amplifier. It is made up of three layers: a
source, a gate, and a drain. The gate is separated from the other two layers by a thin layer of
insulating material called the gate oxide.
When a voltage is applied to the gate, an electric
field is created between the gate and the source,
which controls the flow of current between the
source and the drain. MOSFET operates in three
different regions: the cutoff region, the saturation
region, and the linear or triode region.
In the cutoff region, the MOSFET is effectively
turned off, and there is no current flowing
between the source and the drain. In the
saturation region, the MOSFET is fully turned on,
and there is a maximum current flowing between
the source and the drain. In the linear or triode
region, the MOSFET is partially turned on, and
the current flowing between the source and the drain is proportional to the voltage applied to the
gate.

Simulation:
Create a new simulation profile and set the analysis type as DC Sweep.
Set the “primary sweep” to sweep V2 in fig 1, linearly from 0 to 10 V with a 0.01V
increment.
Select a secondary sweep and sweep V1 from 1.5 to 3.5V with a 0.1V increment.
Obtain the transfer curve of the circuit simulated in fig 1 i.e. Plot Id versus Vds
IMPLEMENTATION
3) Slowly increase VGG until the transistor just begins to conduct current as evidence by
small drop in VDS. Record the value of VGS as gate threshold voltage, Vth
Vth= 1.86
4) Adjust VGG to increase VGS by 0.2V above the threshold. Readjust VDD to return VDS
to 5V and then measure the drain current Id. Record the value of VGS in the first column
of table 1 and record value of Id in second column (the VDS=5V column)
6) Complete the entries in table 1 by adjusting VDD and VGG to obtain various required
VDS and VGS values, then measuring ID at each value.
7) Plot the data for each value of VGS to obtain ID vs VDS curve.
