PHYSICS 3K03 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Threshold Voltage, Common Drain, Dopant
Common-drain
configuration
- AKA source follower
- Non-inverting configuration with very high
- Good voltage buffer to connect a voltage signal with a high output resistance, via a high-
input-resistance, to a moderate/low load resistance
Body effect: Large signal modification:
threshold voltage when
Fermi potential (typcially,
dopant concentration in the p-type or n-type (respectively) substrate
dielectric permittivity of silicon ()
Small signal modification:
