Over the years, I've posted hundreds of designs here so the

How to bias a CS mosfet

I think Thompson has fallen in love with Fields. He follows him around and yes-mans him constantly.
Fields used to love me, said so here, but I spurned him. No wonder they attack my wife; they just can't compete with a beautiful woman.
I hope they spend their declining years happy and together. Old queens make lovely couples.

Hey, we finally agree on something: you don't matter.

I see you're using that sycophant Ian's 'bumchum' slur.
As chummy as you two are getting lately, you should get a room.
As for your question, he replied to you via a post of mine which
contained an earlier post of yours.
Now, your reply to him will be read by him when he reads this post.
That's how it works; got it?
I assume he wants to bias the drain of a linear mosfet amp to Vcc/2.
One way to do that is to servo the source current to a value that tracks Vcc, and pick the proper drain load resistor. That's perfectly feasible. [1]
Another way is to sense the average drain voltage and servo the gate.
The classic 3-resistor toob bias circuit sort of works, but has an error from variations in grid/gate transfer curve; you have to waste a lot of drop across the cathode/source resistor to swamp that. But it's probably good enough, and benefits from bypassing the cathode/source resistor. Ancient stuff.
John
[1] A fet circuit so biased looks, overall, like a resistor to ground. That's one way to make a programmable power resistor, which is handy for things like power supply and battery testing, or simulating RTDs, whatever.
Toob amps often bypassed the cathode resistor. The resistor had to be big to make the DC bias point stable, and that killed AC gain. Bypassing the cathode resistor made everybody happy.
John
It's easy to force the fet current to track Vcc, so drain voltage is kept at Vcc/2.

Had the OP asked for a hammer, would your "helpful nature" have handed
him a screwdriver as a "basic framework to adapt or build on"?
Passive-agressive lurking. Old hen tactics.

Wrong, as always. He addressed me directly, using my last name.
Your name is AlwaysWrong.

Since this is something that you are, and do revert to being so often, what are you saying, exactly?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Awwww, did ums fall down and go boom?
Goash that certain place keeps hurtin'?
Bwuahahahahaha!

I don't know, Larkin's awfully slow, or obstinate, or both. Definitely primo jerko ;-) ...Jim Thompson

What a weirdo. He has killfiled me, and I'm practically the only thing he talks about. Passive-agressive lurking.
Definitely some strange, sick stuff going on. Yuk.

One of _many_possible_solutions_ (as I earlier said)....

It's not at all clear what the OP had in mind; and Ian the J****ff (and his friend in drag, John Larkin) sullied the path toward attaining further information. ...Jim Thompson

Amazing!!!
You and Ian are so much alike that when I post something for him, you
reply to it.
Soul mates???

I think it's about time that we put Larkin in put-up-or-shut-up status.
Any circuit he submits must be accompanied by components values, and either scope photos or simulation results to prove it works.
Otherwise ignore the ignoramus. ...Jim Thompson

Well, that sort of works, for 12.00 volt power at room temperature, and only imposes a 100% or so penalty on power consumption and only loses 2 volts of swing.
Only 12 parts, including the giant capacitor. Not bad for an amateur.
But JF will surely cluck at him for not posting an LT Spice netlist.
