Physical Electronics Devices and ICs

  1. The gm of the MOS transistor is 4 mA/V and the common base current gain of the bipolar transistor is 0.99. The transconductance of the composite transistor as shown in the figure below will be—


    1. 39.6 mA/V
    2. 3.96 mA/V
    3. 1.98 mA/V
    4. 0.99 mA/V
Correct Option: B

Emitter current (IE) = gm Vin (in the case of BJT)

α (bipolar) =
IC
IE

IC = α IE
IC = α. gm Vin …(i)
gm (overall) =
IC
…(ii)
Vin

from (i) and (ii)
gm (overall) =
α·gm Vin
Vin

= α. gm = .99 × 4 m A/V
= 3.96 m A/V
Hence alternative (B) is the correct answer.
