A CMOS amplifier is shown in Figure 3. PMOS transistors M1 and M2 have μpCox = 60 μA/V2, Vtp = −0.4 V, |1/λp| = 100 V, W = 240 μm and L = 1.6 μm. The NMOS transistor M0 has parameters μnCox = 90 μA/V2, Vtn = 0.4 V, 1/λn = 100 V, W = 160 μm and L = 1.6 μm. VDD = 5 V and Rref = 100 kΩ. Figure 3 (i) Calculate the current flowing in the reference resistor Rref . (ii) Sketch Vo as a function of Vi, indicating the regions of operation of the transistors. (iii) Calculate the small-signal voltage gain vo/vi when M0 and M1 are biased in their saturated regions of operation. (iv) If the DC and small-signal components of Vi and Vo are denoted ViQ, VoQ and vi, vo respectively, what value of voltage ViQ is required to give ID0Q = 45 μA? To simplify the calculation, you may neglect channel length modulation effects. (v) Calculate the numerical value of the small-signal voltage gain vo/vi when ViQ has the value derived in part (iv).
