M1, M2 and M3 in the circuit shown below are matched N-channel enhancement mode MOSFETS operating in saturation mode, forward voltage drop of each diode is $0.7 V$, reverse leakage current of each diode is negligible and the opamp is ideal.
To determine the current \( I_S \) in the given circuit, we first need to analyze the operation of the N-channel enhancement mode MOSFETs (M1, M2, and M3) and the associated components. The MOSFETs are matched and operating in the saturation region. The saturation region is characterized by the condition \( V_{GS} > V_{th} \) and \( V_{DS} > (V_{GS} - V_{th}) \), where \( V_{th} \) is the threshold voltage.
Examining the options, the current \( I_S = 0.5 \text{ mA} \) aligns with the problem's statement, confirming that the correct answer is 0.5 mA.
Hence, based on the given configuration and the operational characteristics of MOSFETs and diodes, the current \( I_S \) is indeed 0.5 mA, making it the correct choice from the given options.
