Given: Vtn = 0.4V enter image description here

NMOS1
Vgs = Vg - Vs = 1.9V
Vgd = Vg - Vd = -0.6V
Vgd < Vtn and Vgs > Vtn
My answer is Saturation Region

NMOS2
Vgs = Vg - Vs = 2.2 - (-2.3) = 4.5V
Vgd = 2.2 - 0.5 = 1.7V
Vgd > Vtn and Vgs > Vtn
My answer is Triode/Linear/Ohmic region

NMOS3
Vgs = 0.9 - (-2.5) = 3.4V
Vgd = 0.9-0.5 = 0.4V
What region is the NMOS operating in if Vgd is equal to Vtn?

I have attempted to answer 1 and 2 as highlighted above but am unsure. As for number 3, my book only has cases for Vgd>Vtn and Vgd

People will help you take the next step if your questions shows that you've done as much as you possibly could on your own - which your post doesn't, I'm afraid. Please either revise your question showing your work and findings so far or delete it if you find Internet searches give you your answer anyway.

    \$\begingroup\$ @TonyM I already answered 1 and 2, and would just like to know if I did it right. As for number 3, my book only has cases for Vgd>Vtn and Vgd<Vtn, not if Vgd=Vtn \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 12, 2017 at 8:26

    \$\begingroup\$ My mistake: I should have written "this is not a homework-checking service". VTC. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 12, 2017 at 8:29

    \$\begingroup\$ I'm confused. Aren't we only closing homework question with no attempted solution? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 13, 2017 at 13:02
