    Mosfet Resistance
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on difficulties in biasing the IRF510 MOSFET, specifically achieving an output voltage greater than 3V despite calculations suggesting it should be possible. The user has implemented a voltage divider for biasing at 4.5V with a 9V supply and a drain resistor of 600 ohms, but the output remains significantly lower than expected. It is noted that including a source resistor (Rs) improves the circuit's performance, allowing the desired output voltage to be reached. Suggestions include adjusting the bias voltage or the drain resistor value to achieve higher output. Ultimately, the practical implementation in the lab does not match theoretical calculations, leading to confusion and frustration.

I'm encounter a problem in biasing mosfet irf510 ;
please someone answer me... why i can not get an output over than 3V

i had using voltage divider to bias at 4.5V (R1=R2=100K) ; Vdd=9V; Vout should be = 3V .. Rd=600 OHM where Id=10mA the problem here that i do not like to use Rs as source resistor . the worset of result is not as i calc ...pleeez some one tell me why can not get an out put equal to 3V .. why Id not as i determinted ?

best regard;
MR,10GHz
it should be mentained here that when you put Rs ; you will get what you want; and my colpitts oscillator then work in Common Source; when you remove Rs and recalc the circuit its faild

Kn=124 mA/V2 @ gfs =1.3@3.4A
iD=kn (Vgs-Vgs(th))^2

I'm not sure I understand your question. I think you're saying you have a Vdd or 9V, an Rd of 600 ohms and an Id of 10 mA. The 600 ohms with 10 mA with give you a voltage drop of 6V and 9V - 6V = 3V.

If you want more than 3V at the drain you could either lower your bias voltage or the value of Rd.
 
yes that's right but in practical in my lab when i build the circuit it's did not success why?

Code:
9V
|-------------|
|                   Rd=660
R1=100K        |-----------------V0 = should be >5 put in practical about 300mv Why?
