Transconductance in MOSFET Formula Elements

Variables
Transconductance
Transconductance is defined as the ratio of the change in the output current to the change in the input voltage, with the gate-source voltage held constant.
Symbol: gm
Measurement: Electric ConductanceUnit: mS
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Drain Current
Drain current is the current that flows between the drain and the source terminals of a field-effect transistor (FET), which is a type of transistor commonly used in electronic circuits.
Symbol: id
Measurement: Electric CurrentUnit: mA
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Overdrive Voltage
Overdrive voltage is a term used in electronics and refers to the voltage level applied to a device or component that exceeds its normal operating voltage.
Symbol: Vov
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Transconductance in MOSFET?

Transconductance in MOSFET evaluator uses Transconductance = (2*Drain Current)/Overdrive Voltage to evaluate the Transconductance, Transconductance in MOSFET depends on three parameters (W/L), Veff and Id. Two of which can be chosen independently. Here effective voltage Veff and at a particular current Id is used. The required W/L ratio can then be found and the resulting gm determined. Transconductance is denoted by gm symbol.
