If maximum power is transferred to the load R1, the transconductance is .02 and channel length modulation is neglected, what should be the value of the load?(a) 50 Ω(b) 32 Ω(c) 16 Ω(d) 10 ΩI got this question during an online interview.This is a very interesting question from MOSFET Amplifier with CD Configuration topic in section FET Amplifiers of Analog Circuits

Answer»

Right option is (a) 50 Ω

For EXPLANATION I would say: Since the transconductance is .02, it’s INVERSE is 50. From the general expression of voltage gain of a source follower, we conclude that the LOAD should be 50 Ω since the inverse of the transconductance is the IMPEDANCE LOOKING into the source of the MOSFET. For maximum power transfer, we have to match both the impedance.
