Consider the MOSFET differential amplifier shown below, with IO = 2 mA, and RL = 10 kΩ, RSS = 100 kΩ, VDD = +8 V and VSS = −8 V. The NMOS transistors in the circuit are nominally identical, with kn = 2 mA/V2, VTnn = 1.0 V and ro = 100 kΩ. The PMOS transistors in the circuit are nominally identical, with kp = 2 mA/V2, |VTp| = 1.0 V and ro = 100 kΩ. a) First consider the DC bias point. Assuming that the current mirror requires at least IV (across Io source) in order to operate, what are the maximum and minimum common-mode DC input voltages (V1 = V2) over which the differential amplifier can operate with both transistors in saturation mode? b) Consider ac small signal operation for differential input (v1 = +Δv/2 and v2 = −Δv/2) and the indicated output (v0 across RL). Find the overall voltage gain (v0/Δv), including sign. c) Find the input resistance and output resistance corresponding to this mode (output resistance is looking to left from capacitor). d) Next, consider ac small signal operation for common-mode input (v1 = v2 = Δv) and the indicated vo. Find the overall voltage gain ((vo/Δv) corresponding to this mode. e) Find the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR).

For the amplifier below, following design information is provided: VDD = 3.3 V, R = 2.4 kΩ, ISS = 1.8 mA, k1 = k2 = 5 mA/V2, VTH,1 = VTH,2 = 0.5 V, λ = 0.1 V−1, γ = 0, ki′ = μ0Cox, ki = μ0 Cox(W L)i. Assume that both transistors are identical and in the saturation region. Finally, NMOS and PMOS bulk terminals are connected to the ground and VDD, respectively. a) What is the DC bias voltage for M1 and M2 given that the voltage drop across ISS is 0.4 V ? You can neglect the channel length modulation, here. Check that the transistors are in the correct operation-mode. b) The resistors will be realized using identical PMOS transistors M3 and M4. If the transistors to be used will have k3 = k4 = 1.5 mA/V2, what will be their overdrive voltages? Check that the transistors are in the correct operation-mode. c) What is the differential voltage gain AV,diff = Vout/Vid in dB ? d) ISS will be realized as a cascode current source. Assume that the voltage drop of 0.4 V is equally shared by the two transistors, M5 and M6 having k5′ = k6′ = 0.5 mA/V2 and VTH, 5 = VTH, 6 = 0.5 V. Assuming the gate voltages of both transistors are 1 V, find the W/L ratios of each device. Once again, you can neglect the channel length modulation here. e) Considering (d), how would the W/L ratios qualitatively change (increase/decrease/stays the same), if γ > 0 ? Explain your reasoning analytically, i. e. , using appropriate equations. f) Using the cascode current source, calculate the common-mode gain of the circuit AV, CM = Vout /Vin in dB, where Vin . s applied to the gates of both M1 and M2. Assume λ = 0.1 V−1 for M5 and M6. g) Calculate the CMRR of the circuit in dB.
