EE 315 Introduction to Electronic Analysis & Design
Lecture 14: MOSFETs as circuit elements: DC examples

Device-level recap

• MOSFETs are the most fabricated device of all time
• First three-terminal device
• Digital: Kind of like a voltage-controlled switch
  • Logic
  • Memory
  • Computers
• Analog: I/O device that can be like a resistor or amplifier
  • Amplifiers
  • Filters
• Mixed-signal: Uses both analog and digital
  • Analog to digital converters
  • Digital to analog converters
