Estimate the maximum allowed output voltage for the p-MOS current source when the current value and the differential output resistance remain nearly constant, e. g. the mosfet operates in the saturation region. The MOSFET is biased with the gate-to-source voltage 1.26 V (absolute value). The current source is powered from the DC voltage source VDD = +3 V. Assume the standard process parameters: Vtp = −0.8 V.

Estimate the value of the DC voltage gain (a low frequency AC voltage gain) for the CG stage in Figure 5. The PMOSFET gate length was 1.5 um. The NMOSFET gate length was a half of that for the PMOS device. The NMOSFET aspect ratio was selected to operate the transistors in the saturation region. The NMOSFET gate voltage was found to be 0.8 V. The DC bias current was not given. Assume the NMOS and PMOS devices have the standard process parameters: threshold voltages Vtn = 0.7 V and Vtp = −0.9 V, and the Early voltage parameters Va'n = 20 V/um and Va'p = 10 V/um, respectively. Your Answer: Answer Hide hint for Question 14 The drain current (both DC and AC components) passes through "Rin" into the source terminal and leaves the drain terminal into the PMOSFET which differential resistance rop represents Rload. The output voltage Vout is taken across Rload. The input voltage Vsig is applied across Rin. The voltage gain of the stage Vout/Vin can be found with the ratio Rload/Rin.

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.)
