The circuit shown below is an example of a common-source amplifier biased with a PMOS current mirror. The CMOS process used to fabricate the circuit results in NMOS transistors with unCox = 100 uA/V^2 , lambda_n = 0.1 V^-1 , and VThn = 0.4 V; and PMOS transistors with upCox = 50 uA/V^2, lambda_p = 0.2 V^-1 , and VThp =

The circuit shown above is a MOS differential amplifier with the drain resistors RD implemented using diode-connected PMOS transistors, M3 and M4. Let M1 and M2 be matched, and M3 and M4 be matched. If λ>0 and gm ro >> 1:

(a) Use circuit splitting technique to derive an expression for the differential voltage gain (Ad)

(b) Determine the common-mode gain (ACM) assuming that the tail current source (Iss) is non-ideal so that it has a finite output resistance Rss (parallel with the tail current source)

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.
