Drain Output Resistance Formula Elements

Variables
Output Resistance
Output resistance refers to the resistance of an electronic circuit to the flow of current when a load is connected to its output.
Symbol: Rout
Measurement: Electric ResistanceUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Electron Mean Free Path
Electron Mean Free Path which represents the average distance an electron can travel without scattering with impurities, defeat, or other obstacles within the solid state device.
Symbol: λ
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless

How to Evaluate Drain Output Resistance?

Drain Output Resistance evaluator uses Output Resistance = 1/(Electron Mean Free Path*Drain Current) to evaluate the Output Resistance, Drain Output Resistance is defined to find the “extra” drain current which arises due to channel length modulation as the current flowing through a drain output resistor. Output Resistance is denoted by Rout symbol.
