The MOS differential amplifier in this problem is operated at a bias current of IREF = 0.8 mA. M1 and M2 have Kn′ = 0.2 mA/V2 and W/L = 100, RD = 5 kΩ and RSS = 25 kΩ. If the drain resistors have a 1% mismatch, find the small signal differential gain (Ad), the common mode gain (Acm), and the Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) in dB, defined as 20 log⁡|Ad|/|Acm|. Note, for DC purposes, neglect the effect of RSS and assume that IREF is split equally between the two arms. Do not neglect RSS for small-signal analysis and assume that VCM is set such that gm = 4 mA/V for M1 and M2.

The MOS differential amplifier in this problem is operated at a bias current of I R E F = 0.8 m A . M1 and M 2 have K n = 0.2 m A / V 2 and W / L = 100 , R D = 5 k Ω and R S S = 25 k Ω . If the drain resistors have a 1 % mismatch, find the small signal differential gain ( A d ) , the common mode gain ( A c m ) , and the Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) in d B , defined as 20 log | A d | / | A c m | . Note, for DC purposes, neglect the effect of R S S and assume that I R E F is split equally between the two arms. Do not neglect R S S for small-signal analysis and assume that V C M is set such that g m = 4 m A / V for M 1 and M2.
