The differential pair depicted in Fig. 10.98 must provide a gain of 40. Assuming the same (equilibrium) overdrive for all of the transistors and a power dissipation of 2 mW, design the circuit. Assume λn = 0.1 V−1, λp = 0.2 V−1, μnCox = 100 μA/V2, μpCox = 50μA/V2, and VDD = 1.8 V.

Cascode Stage. Design a Cascode amplifier shown in figure below to achieve a gain of 1600. Assume VDD = 1 V, Vth = 0.3 V, λn = 0.2 V−1, γ = 0, μnCox = 100 μA/V2, I1 = 1 mA, gmro ≫ 1. a) Find bias point (VGS−Vth of transistors) to achieve the target gain such that we achieve maximum swing at Vout. b) Find W/L for each transistor. c) Calculate optimal Vb and VIN DC bias to maximize output swing. What is this maximum/minimum voltage levels at the output? What is the maximum swing? d) Notice you must generate a specific Vb externally to maximize the swing. If a lazy designer decides to connect Vb to VDD instead, what would be the swing in this case? e) To realize the current source load, we will use a PMOS active load. For PMOS, use the same parameters with λp = 0.2 V−1, μpCox = 50 μA/V2. Assume the bias current will remain at 1mA, find the new gain value. What would be the W/L for PMOS if we want to have a VOD(VGS−Vth) of 0.1V for this device. f) Repeat part (e) for a PMOS load with 2L gate length. g) It seems like making the PMOS load very large (large W) is beneficial to reduce VOD and consequently improving the voltage swing. What do you think is the drawback?

Please design the differential amplifier shown in Fig. P3 to meet the following specifications: (1) Two NMOS transistors are matched: μnCox = 400 μA/V2, Vtn = 0.8 V, λn = 0.02 V−1, Wn = 4⋅Wp, L = 0.2μm. Please short the BODY to the SOURCE. (2) Two PMOS transistors are matched: μpCox = 200 μA/V2, Vtp = −0.8 V, λp = 0.04 V−1, Wp = TBD, L = 0.2 μm. Please short the BODY to the SOURCE. (3) ISS = 2 mA. (4) VS ≈ 0.3 V (5) The DC voltages of both vOP and vON ≈ 3.5 V. (6) The small-signal gain Av=(vop − von)/(vip − vin) ≈ 10. (7) The differential AC sinusoidal signal, vi = (vip−vin), has 100mV amplitude and 1kHz frequency. (8) VDD = 5 V. Design procedure: (a) Design Wp, Wn(= 4⋅Wp), VB, and RD by hand-calculations. Please round the resolution of Wp and Wn to 0.1μm. (Hint: λn and λp could be zero for your hand-calculations.) (b) Verify your design by a .OP simulation. Please report DC voltages of vS, vG, vOP and vON. (c) Verify your design by a .TRAN simulation. Please find Av and attach the waveforms of vIP, vIN, vOP, and vON in the same plot.

10.91. The differential pair of Fig. 10.99 must achieve a CMRR of 60 dB ( = 1000). Assume a power budget of 2 mW, a nominal differential voltage gain of 5, and neglecting channel-length modulation in M1 and M2, compute the minimum required λ for M3. Assume (W/L)1,2 = 10/0.18, μnCox = 100 μA/V2, VDD = 1.8 V, and ΔR/R = 2%. Figure 10.99
