Why is self bias unsuitable for an enhancement-mode MOSFET?

  • A.It cannot supply enough gate current to the device
  • B.It makes the operating point depend on the threshold voltage
  • C.It requires a source resistor larger than is practical
  • D.It produces the wrong polarity of gate bias

Answer: D

Self bias makes the gate negative of the source, but an enhancement device needs the gate positive of the source to form a channel at all, so the arrangement cannot start. Gate current is zero either way, and the remaining objections do not arise. That two members of one family need opposite gate polarities is the first thing to establish before choosing a bias circuit for either.
