In a MOSFET amplifier, what is the primary reason for the upper cutoff frequency?
Question

In a MOSFET amplifier, what is the primary reason for the upper cutoff frequency?

A.

The junction capacitance of the MOSFET

B.

The Miller effect in the amplifier circuit

C.

The thermal noise in the MOSFET

D.

The transconductance of the MOSFET

Correct option is A

The upper cutoff frequency in a MOSFET amplifier is primarily limited by the parasitic (junction) capacitances inherent in the device's structure. These internal capacitances form low-pass filters with the circuit's resistances, causing the amplifier's gain to roll off as the frequency increases.
Key parasitic capacitances include:
Gate-to-Source Capacitance (Cgs).
Gate-to-Drain Capacitance (Cgd).
Drain-to-Source Capacitance (Cds).
