For the following problem, neglect body effect, Cgd and ro, but consider Cgs and use long-channel equations in transistors. Assume L = 0.7 μm for both transistors. The other circuit component values are the following: Rb = 4 kΩ, Rd = 50 Ω, Lg = 10 nH, Ls = 0.5 nH, RS = 50 Ω. The frequency of operation is 2.4 GHz. Ci may be considered as a short circuit at the frequency of operation. Rb is high enough that can be considered as an open circuit for small signal. (a) Symbolically, calculate the input impedance Zi. (b) Calculate the required overdrive voltage in M2 to make the real part of Zi equal to 50 Ω. (c) Calculate W2 to make Zi = 50 Ω. (d) Calculate ID and W1 to make Iref = ID/10. (e) Calculate the DC component at v0. (f) Numerically calculate the small-signal gain, av = vo/vi. (g) Calculate vo if vs = 1 mV peak. (h) Symbolically, calculate the noise figure of this amplifier. (i) Calculate F in dB. CMOS process data: VDD = 1.8 V. For NMOS, Vthn = 0.4V, μn = 400 cm2/Vs, Cox = 9 fF/μm2 and γn = 1. The parameters for PMOS transistors are k′ = μpCox = 90 μA/V2, Vthp = −0.4V and γp = 0.8.

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.)
