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).

A 0.13 μm CMOS fabrication process is specified to have μnCox = 511 μA/V2, μpCox = 128 μA/V2, Vtn = −Vtp = 0.4 V, VAn′ = 5 V/μm, and |VAp′| = 6 V/μm are the Early voltages (connected to channel length modulation, rO = VA/ID). Consider an n-channel device and a p-channel device fabricated in this process with equal channel lengths L = 0.26 μm and with equal widths W = 2.6 μm. (a) If both the NMOS and PMOS transistors specified above are operated at |VOV| = 0.2 V, find the current ID, the voltage VGS, the transconductance gm, and the output resistance ro of each device. Also specify the range of the voltage across the device for operation in the saturation mode to be obtained. (b) If while keeping |Vov| and L unchanged the PMOS device is to have an equal transconductance to that of the NMOS transistor, what device parameter must be changed and to what value? Also, find the new values of ID and ro of the modified PMOS transistor.
