Calculate the symbolic small signal (VOUT /VIN) gain of the folded-cascode stage shown in Fig. 4 in terms of transistor parameters and the bias current Iss. Assume the current source Iss is ideal and all transistors are in saturation. Neglect body effect. Neglect channel length modulation except doing output impedance calculation; Transistor parameters are limited as those shown in Eq.1 and Eq.2; do not directly use gm and ro. (Hint: Try to draw the small signal model of the circuit to reach a straightforward solution.)

An NMOS amplifier is shown in Figure 1. Transistor M1 is biased in the saturation region for an amplifier application. The circuit is biased with a resistive voltage divider consisting of R1 and R2, a source degeneration resistor RS, and a load resistor RD. The drain bias current for the design is ID = 500 μA and VDS is 1.625 V. The device parameters are: L = 0.5 μm, W = 10 μm, kn’ = 200 μA/V2, Vtn = 0.5 V, and λn = 0. analyze the frequency response of the amplifier. a) Draw a midband small signal ac equivalent circuit model for the amplifier. For midband you can assume the reactance of Cin is sufficiently low that it is a short circuit. b) Derive an expression for the midband voltage gain transfer function Vout /Vsig. The amplified output signal is taken from the drain terminal and Vout = Vd. Write your gain function in terms of variables only. c) Evaluate the midband gain and calculate a value both in V/V and dB. d) Analyze the frequency response of the input network including the capacitor Cin. Find an expression for the transfer function H1(jω) = Vg/Vsig. e) Evaluate H1(jω) = Vg/Vsig and make a Bode plot of the magnitude of H1(jω). The x-axis is ω (log scale) and the y-axis is the magnitude in dB. f) Use the LTSPICE circuit template and verify the frequency response of the amplifier circuit. Include a copy of the schematic and the frequency response plot. Use 20 points per decade and a frequency span of 0.1 Hz to 100 Hz.
