MEMORANDUM
Fill in the answers into the blocks provided. Do not do calculations inside blocks intended for answers. You may be penalised for untidy work. Answers will not be marked unless correct units are given. All silicon junction voltages are 0,7 V in forward bias. Answers must be accurate to the first three significant figures.

[RV1 is adjusted at exactly 50% (half way)] What is the value of the average DC voltage across C1 if the DC offset of the sine wave at Vin is such that the peak is at +750mV and the minimum is at +450mV? What is the value of VGS of Q1 if VR1 is adjusted so that the DC voltage between ground and the slider of VR1 is 10 Volt? What is the value of the average DC voltage between the drain of Q1 and ground with VGS as above?

If RV1 is adjusted until there is a sine wave with amplitude of 450mV at pin 6 of A1, answer the following: What is the amplitude of the sine wave across the drain-to-source of Q1? What is the amplitude of the sine wave at pin 2 of A1? What is the value of the dynamic resistance between the drain and source of Q1? If RV1 is adjusted until the voltage across R5 is zero, describe the approximate output voltage amplitude you would expect to be possible at pin 6 of A1:

125 mV 150 mV

rds =

Approaching 1,9V amplitude (Maximum Gain) or Very Large 150 mV (Same as Vin) (Gain = 1)
