Consider the amplifier circuit shown in the figure below. MOSFET channel length modulation can be neglected, VDD = 5 V, Vtn = 0.7 V, and kn = 1 mA/V2. Find VOV, ID, RD and RG to obtain voltage gain equal to −25 V/V and an input resistance of 0.5 MΩ. What is the maximum allowable input signal, vi? Tip: during small signal analysis you can assume that current through resistor RG is much smaller than gmvGS current and check if this is satisfied later. (Ans. 0.319 V; 50.7μA; 78.5kΩ; 13MΩ; 27mV)

A differential amplifier circuit is shown in the figure below. In the circuit, VDD = +10 V, the current I provided by the current source is 2 mA and the internal source resistance is RSS = 50 kΩ. The transistor parameters are as follows: - All NMOS: μnCox = 100 μA/ V2, W/L = 10 μm/1.6 μm, Vtn = 0.7V, λnL = 0.10 μm/V - All PMOS: μpCox = 50 μA/V2, W/L = 10μm/1.6μm, Vtp = −0.8 V, λpL = 0.05 μm/V (1) Calculate the DC output voltage VO (ignore the channel length modulation effect of all transistors). (2) Under the differential mode operation (i.e., v1 = 1/2vd, v2 = -1/2vd ), calculate the differential mode small signal voltage gain Ad = vo/vd (include the channel length modulation effect of all transistors). Hint: please pay special attention to the connections of Q3 and Q4 transistors.

In this amplifier circuit, the high and low DC voltage sources are: VDD = 5 V and VSS = −5 V respectively. Consider that all three external capacitors have high values. The PMOS transistor has a threshold voltage equal to Vt = −1 V and kp = kp′(W/L) = 0.4 mA/V2, and the NMOS transistor has a threshold voltage Vt = 1 V and a kn = kn′(W/L) = 2 mA/V2. It was shown in HW#7 that the DC drain voltage of the PMOS transistor is −0.2 V and the DC source of the NMOS transistor is −2 V. a) Perform the small signal analysis of this circuit and determine the voltage gain: AV = Vo/Vi b) Determine the input and output resistance of this amplifier Rin and Rout . c) Discuss what is the purpose of the part of the circuit between CC2 and CC3 which includes the NMOS transistor in this amplifier design. d) Determine the parameters of a simple voltage amplifier model (discussed in chapter 1) which will represent this amplifier. Note that the parameters of the simple voltage amplifier excludes any series resistance of the external source ( Vi ) (in this case it is zero anyway) and the load resistance (in this case RL = 2 kΩ ). e) Using the simple model from part (c) determine the voltage gain AV = Vo/Vi and see if it agrees with the answer of part (a).
