(a) For the amplifier circuit shown in panel (a), M2 is implemented as a diode-connected NMOS. (W/L)1 = 50 μm/0.5 μm, (W/L)2 = 10 μm/0.5 μm, both M1 and M2 are in saturation with IDS1 = IDS2 = 0.5 mA. Calculate the small-signal voltage gain. (b) Everything remains the same except that M2 is now implemented as a diode-connected PMOS. Calculate the small-signal voltage gain.

Consider MOSFET-based current source circuits shown below. Assume that the n-type MOSFET transistors follow the long-channel model with μnCox = 100 μA/V2 and Vth,n = 0.5 V. All the transistors have a fixed channel length L = 0.25 μm. The bias voltage VB1 is at 0.8 V. Assume that all transistors have no back-bias effect. (1) (2) (a) For a basic current source in Fig. (1), size the NMOS transistor M1's width ( = W1) so that it conducts a current of 1 mA when it operates in saturation region. You may assume λn = 0. (b) What is the minimum value of Vout for this circuit that keeps M1 in saturation region? (c) For a cascode current source in Fig. (2), assume that the transistor M2 has the same width with M1 you determined from part (a). Determine the value of VB2 that yields the lowest minimum VOUT keeping both M1 and M2 in saturation regions. (d) Now, let's assume that the transistors M1 and M2 have a finite output resistance with λn = 0.1 V−1. Compute the value of the output resistance (Rout) of this cascode current source when M1 and M2 are in the saturation region. (Hint: Calculate the output impedance in a small signal equivalent circuit.)

For the shown circuit (a) Calculate small-signal voltage gain. (b) Calculate output impedance. The biasing voltage is VB = 4 V and the transistor sizes are (W/L)1 = 16/1 and (W/L)2 = 4/1. Use the following parameters: Vdd = 5 V, kn = 100 μA/V 2 , kp = 50μA/V2 , Vthn = 0.6 V, Vthp = -0.8 V, λn = 0.02 V -1 , λp = 0.02 V -1 , γ = 0.

Consider the circuit shown in the figure. This is an amplifier in which the load resistor RD has been replaced with another NMOS transistor Q2 in the diode configuration. Note that the two transistors conduct equal drain currents. Assuming that Q1 is operated in saturation, find the small-signal voltage Av = vo/vi of the amplifier. The following parameters are given (W/L)1 = 24 μm/0.5 μm, (W/L)2 = 1.5 μm/0.5 μm. You can ignore the influence of λ in the analysis (i.e., assume λ = 0). Type in the value of the small-signal voltage gain, without the unit (V/V), paying attention to the polarity.
