I am building a pulsing (square pulse) circuit using voltage power supplies.
so far i am able to generate nice square pulses with a few % duty cycle using a 555 timer (i have a N914 diode that helps me get such low duty cycles). The 555 timer pulses are 5V in size. afterwards, I am trying to input this 5V square wave into an NMOS transistor from NTE:

However, I am unaware of how to properly connect the set up. should i use a common source amplifier? I am trying to get about 20-25 V pulses out (after amplification). I have been trying to read Sedra/Smith but I'm not convinced I know all the parameters from the data sheet to do the calculations.
Anyhow, any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
