Variables Used
Linear Resistance - (Measured in Ohm) - Linear resistance acts as a variable resistor in the linear region and as a current source in the saturation region.
Length of the Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Length of the channel can be defined as the distance between its start and end points, and can vary greatly depending on its purpose and location.
Mobility of Electrons at Surface of Channel - (Measured in Square Meter per Volt per Second) - The mobility of electrons at surface of channel refers to the ability of electrons to move or conduct within a material's surface layer when subjected to an electric field.
Oxide Capacitance - (Measured in Farad) - Oxide capacitance is an important parameter that affects the performance of MOS devices, such as the speed and power consumption of integrated circuits.
Width of Channel - (Measured in Meter) - The width of channel refers to the amount of bandwidth available for transmitting data within a communication channel.
Gate Source Voltage - (Measured in Volt) - The Gate Source Voltage is the voltage that falls across the gate-source terminal of the transistor.
Threshold Voltage - (Measured in Volt) - Threshold voltage, also known as the gate threshold voltage or simply Vth, is a critical parameter in the operation of field-effect transistors, which are fundamental components in modern electronics.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Length of the Channel: 3 Micrometer --> 3E-06 Meter (Check conversion ​here)
Mobility of Electrons at Surface of Channel: 2.2 Square Meter per Volt per Second --> 2.2 Square Meter per Volt per Second No Conversion Required

What is the condition to use the MOSFET as a linear resistor?

When you slowly increase the gate voltage the MOSFET slowly starts conducting by entering the linear region where it starts developing a voltage across it which we call V DS . In this region, the MOSFET acts as a resistance of finite value.

How to Calculate NMOS as Linear Resistance?

NMOS as Linear Resistance calculator uses Linear Resistance = Length of the Channel/(Mobility of Electrons at Surface of Channel*Oxide Capacitance*Width of Channel*(Gate Source Voltage-Threshold Voltage)) to calculate the Linear Resistance, The NMOS as linear resistance acts as a variable resistor in the linear region and as a current source in the saturation region. Unlike a BJT, to use a MOSFET as a switch, you need to operate within the linear region. Linear Resistance is denoted by rDS symbol.
