The PMOS transistor shown in Fig. E5.7 has Vtp = -1 V, kp' = 60 uA/V^2, and W/L = 10 (a) Find the range of VG for which the transistor conducts. (b) In terms of VG, find the range of VD for which the transistor operates in the triode region. (c) In terms of VG, find the range of VD, for which the transistor operates in saturation. (d) Neglecting channel-length modulation (i.e., assuming lambda =0), find the values of |Vov| and VG and the corresponding range of VD to operate the transistor in the saturation mode with ID = 75 uA. (e) If lambda = -0.02 V-1, find the value of ro corresponding to the overdrive voltage determined in (d). (f) For lambda = - 0.02 V-1 and for the value of Vov determined in (d), find ID, at VD = +3 V and at VD = 0 V; hence, calculate the value of the apparent output resistance in saturation. Compare to the value found in (e).

Design the circuit of Fig. 7.10 to provide an output current of 100 uA. Use VDD = 3.3 V, and assume the PMOS transistors to have upCox = 60 uA/V^2, Vtp = -0.8 V, and | VA| = 5 V. The current source is to have the widest possible signal swing at its output. Design for Vov = 0.2 V, and specify the values of the transistor W/L ratios and of VG3 and VG4. What is the highest allowable voltage at the output? What is the value of Ro?

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).
