In this amplifier circuit, the high and low DC voltage sources are: VDD = 5 V and VSS = −5 V respectively. Consider that all three external capacitors have high values. The PMOS transistor has a threshold voltage equal to Vt = −1 V and kp = kp′(W/L) = 0.4 mA/V2, and the NMOS transistor has a threshold voltage Vt = 1 V and a kn = kn′(W/L) = 2 mA/V2. It was shown in HW#7 that the DC drain voltage of the PMOS transistor is −0.2 V and the DC source of the NMOS transistor is −2 V. a) Perform the small signal analysis of this circuit and determine the voltage gain: AV = Vo/Vi b) Determine the input and output resistance of this amplifier Rin and Rout . c) Discuss what is the purpose of the part of the circuit between CC2 and CC3 which includes the NMOS transistor in this amplifier design. d) Determine the parameters of a simple voltage amplifier model (discussed in chapter 1) which will represent this amplifier. Note that the parameters of the simple voltage amplifier excludes any series resistance of the external source ( Vi ) (in this case it is zero anyway) and the load resistance (in this case RL = 2 kΩ ). e) Using the simple model from part (c) determine the voltage gain AV = Vo/Vi and see if it agrees with the answer of part (a).

Consider the CMOS amplifier shown below. The circuit has the following parameters: VDD = 2V, Vth = 0.3V, kn = 2mA/V2 and RF = RD = 1kΩ. The input voltage source has zero source impedance. Calculate the value of Vin for which the transistor moves from saturation to linear region. For linear region, use the following I−V equation Id = kn(VGS − Vth)Vds

Figure 1 shows a single stage common source MOSFET amplifier circuit. We wish to design the circuit to meet the following design specifications: Load Resistance: RL = 100 KΩ Input Resistance: Ri > 200 KΩ Mid-band Gain: Gv = Vo/Vi = −50 ± 20% Supply Voltage: +15 Volts Circuit Capacitors: CG = 10μF; CS = 47μF; CD = 10μF Figure 1. Common Source MOSFET Amplifier Pre-lab: (a) Design the amplifier to meet the specifications above by choosing values for resistors R1, R2, RD and RS. Begin your design by choosing an appropriate value for the bias current ID. If ID ≈ 0.3 mA, assume VT ≈ 1.7 V, Kn ≈ 0.02 A/V2 and VA = 100 V(λ = 0.01 V−1). Find the small signal approximation of the input resistance Rin where Rin = R1∥R2 Find the small signal approximation of the output resistance Ro, where Ro is given as Ro = RD∥RL∥ro. The small signal mid-band gain of the amplifier is given by Gv = −gmRo where gm = 2knID = kn(VGS−VT) Once you choose ID the DC biasing of the transistor can be found using simple rules of thumb. The voltage VG should be approximately equal to VDD/3 > VT. For maximum symmetry, VD should be biased at the midpoint between VD(Max) and VD(Min). Clearly, the maximum VD is VDD and the minimum VD > VG−Vt. For example, if Vt = 1.7 V and VG = 1/3VDD = 5 V, then VD ≈ 9 V for maximum symmetry.
