An NMOS amplifier is to be designed to provide a 0.50-V peak output signal across a 50-kΩ load that can be used as a drain resistor. If a gain of at least 5 V/V is needed, what value of gm is required?

An NMOS amplifier is to be designed to provide a 0.50-V peak output signal across a 50-kΩ load that can be used as a drain resistor. If a gain of at least 5 V/V is needed, what value of gm is required? Correct Answer 0.1 mA/V

gmRd = 5 or gm= 5/50 mA/V.
