Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.1CAE
Verify the results of Example 3.4 with a PSpice analysis.
As Example 3.4 illustrated, we may not know initially whether a transistor is biased in the saturation or nonsaturation region. The approach involves making an educated guess and then verifying that assumption. If the assumption proves incorrect, we must then change it and reanalyze the circuit.
In linear amplifiers containing MOSFETs, the transistors are biased in the saturation region.
