Multistage Amplifier In this last question, you are going to design a 2-stage amplifier. The first stage is a common-source amplifier and the second is a source follower, as shown in the figure below: Some parameters you may use are: VDD = 5 V, μnCox = 0.2 mA/V2, μpCox = 0.1 mA/V2, λn = 0.06, λp = 0.03, γ = 0, VTHN = 0.7 V, VTHP = −0.6 V; allow RL = 2 KΩ. Note: CS is large enough so that it will act as a short circuit for frequencies of interest. The circuit should satisfy the following specs: Total power consumption = 6.5 mW (use this spec to find total current drawn from VDD) The ratio of power consumed by the biasing branch: the amplifier: the follower stage should be 1:2:10 CS stage should provide a gain equal to −40 V/V Source follower stage should have a gain of 0.6 V/V Vomax = 3.8 V Find the W/L of all transistors and value of RD. Make reasonable simplifications.

Cascode Stage. Design a Cascode amplifier shown in figure below to achieve a gain of 1600. Assume VDD = 1 V, Vth = 0.3 V, λn = 0.2 V−1, γ = 0, μnCox = 100 μA/V2, I1 = 1 mA, gmro ≫ 1. a) Find bias point (VGS−Vth of transistors) to achieve the target gain such that we achieve maximum swing at Vout. b) Find W/L for each transistor. c) Calculate optimal Vb and VIN DC bias to maximize output swing. What is this maximum/minimum voltage levels at the output? What is the maximum swing? d) Notice you must generate a specific Vb externally to maximize the swing. If a lazy designer decides to connect Vb to VDD instead, what would be the swing in this case? e) To realize the current source load, we will use a PMOS active load. For PMOS, use the same parameters with λp = 0.2 V−1, μpCox = 50 μA/V2. Assume the bias current will remain at 1mA, find the new gain value. What would be the W/L for PMOS if we want to have a VOD(VGS−Vth) of 0.1V for this device. f) Repeat part (e) for a PMOS load with 2L gate length. g) It seems like making the PMOS load very large (large W) is beneficial to reduce VOD and consequently improving the voltage swing. What do you think is the drawback?
