Laboratory Overview: Project – design a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) using either the ZVN3306A or ZVP3306A (or both) MOSFETs and as many resistors and capacitors as you need with a gain of 25k. You should try to get as fast a design as possible driving a 10k load with as large of output swing as possible. AC coupling input and output is okay as long as your design can pass a 100 Hz input current. Your report, in html, should detail your design considerations, and measured results showing the TIA's performance.

Due to laboratory restrictions set by Clark County School District to avoid the spread of Covid-19, experimental results in this laboratory are borrowed from student reports from previous semesters. Link to citations used in this laboratory are located at the end of this report.

Procedure: The main goal of this MOSFET amplifier, is to produce an output signal that is a faithful reproduction of its input signal. The input signal could be a current or a voltage, but for a MOSFET device to operate as an amplifier it must be biased to operate within its saturation region. As stated above, I will be using pictures from previous laboratories to make this report. Therefore, some of the passive component values that I will use to implement my circuit to run the simulations will differ to the values used in those previous laboratories.
