Consider the MOSFET current mirror shown below. For these transistors, kn’ = 0.2 mA/V2, VTn = 0.5 V. Unless expressly stated, you may assume that λ = 0 throughout the analysis. For M1, (W/L)1 = 2 and IREF = 0.2 mA. We wish to achieve ID2 = 1 mA and ID3 = 2 mA. a) What value of (W/L)2 is required? b) What is the minimum allowable value of VD2? c) What value of (W/L)3 is required? d) What is the minimum allowable value of VD3? e) Consider the min VD2 value determined in part b). Suppose that we include the effect of λ in the DC ID - VGS expression (with λ = 0.01). What value of ID2 would you expect for this output voltage point? Your calculations can consider only M2. f) Suppose that VDD = 7 V and that the "Amp Circuit" connected to M2 can operate at VD2 values up to 6 V. We include the effect of λ in the DCID - VGS expression (with λ = 0.01). What value of ID2 would you expect for this maximum output voltage point? Your calculations can consider only M2.

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.)

(a) Figure Q2(a) shows a differential amplifier with a current source at the bottom. It is given that VDD = VSS = 15 V, ISS = 300 μA, Early effect can be ignored (λ = 0), Kn = 400 μA/V2 and VTN = 1 V. You may assume MOSFET in saturation region. (i) For single ended outputs, draw the half-circuits and derive the algebraic equations for the differential mode and common-mode gains as well as CMRR. [6 Marks] (ii) For the above case of single ended output, what should be the value of Rss to get CMRR = 100? [4 Marks] Figure Q2(a) (b) Figure Q2(b) shows a MOSFET based current mirror. Draw the AC small signal model and derive an equation for output resistance Rout as shown in the figure. You can keep your answer in terms of gm, ro etc but denote the subscript 1,2,3 etc to indicate which transistor. In other words, denote transconductance of M2 by writing gm2 and so on. [6 marks] (c) Draw the diagram of a BJT based Class B push-pull power amplifier and derive the maximum possible power efficiency of this circuit. You may ignore crossover distortion and assume |VCE(sat)| = 0 V. [9 marks]
