Consider the input stage of the CMOS op amp shown below with both inputs grounded. Assume that the two sides of the input stage are perfectly matched except that the threshold voltages of Q3 and Q4 have a mismatch Vt . Show that a current gm3Vt appears at the output. [Hint: VGS3 = VGS4 = VGS The current flowing through Q3 is I3 and the current flowing through Q4 is I4, then the mismatch current at the output will be I3 -I4

In this problem, we design a two-stage op amp based on the topology shown in Fig. Q1. Assume a power budget of 6 mW, a required output swing of 2.5 V, and Leff = 0.5µm for all devices. a) Allocating a current of 1 mA to the output stage and roughly equal overdrive voltages to M5 and M6, determine (W/L)5 and (W/L)6. Note that the gate-source capacitance of M5 is in the signal path, whereas that of M6 is not. Thus, M6 can be quite a lot larger than M5. b) Calculate the small-signal gain of the output stage. c) With the remaining 1 mA flowing through M7, determine the aspect ratio of M3 (and M4) such that VGS3 = VGS5. This is to guarantee that if Vin = 0 and hence VX = VY, then M5 carries the expected current. d) Calculate the aspect ratios of M1 and M2 such that the overall voltage gain of the op amp is equal to 500.

The circuit below is a two-stage amplifier with a common-source amplifier as the first stage and a source-follower as the second stage. Given parameters are like the following: R1 = 2 kΩ and R2 = 2 kΩ, and VDD = 6 V; and we assume two MOSFETs both operate in saturation and are characterized by parameters VT1 = 1 V, VT2 = 3 V, and K = 1 mA/V2. The threshold voltages of the first (left) and the second (right) NMOS transistors are VT1 and VT2, respectively, while they share the same K parameter. (Note: 3 sub-problems: 10 -points each sub-problem. ) (a) Find DC operating points (V1, VO1, VO2, ID1 and ID2) for achieving the maximum input signal amplitude. (Note: ID1 is a DC current flowing through the first stage and ID2 is a DC current flowing through the second stage). Show the whole process. Box all five answers.

You are given a folded-cascode op amp shown to the left. VDD = VSS = 1 V. Vtn = −Vtp = 0.4 V. For all transistors, |VA| = 6 V. Power dissipated in the circuit (with no input signal applied) is 0.6 mW. Q1 and Q2 operate at a current that is four times that at which Q3 and Q4 is operating. All transistors operate at |VOV| = 0.2V. Show the current drawn from each of the two power supplies is 2IB. Find IB and I that result in the circuit operating at its specified power dissipation. Find the DC current at which each of Q1 to Q11 operate Find the input common-mode range Find the allowable range of Vo. Find the overall transconductance Gm Find the output resistance R0
