Consider the MOSFET current mirror shown below. For these transistors, kn’ = 0.2 mA/V2, VTn = 0.5 V. Unless expressly stated, you may assume that λ = 0 throughout the analysis. For M1, (W/L)1 = 2 and IREF = 0.2 mA. We wish to achieve ID2 = 1 mA and ID3 = 2 mA. a) What value of (W/L)2 is required? b) What is the minimum allowable value of VD2? c) What value of (W/L)3 is required? d) What is the minimum allowable value of VD3? e) Consider the min VD2 value determined in part b). Suppose that we include the effect of λ in the DC ID - VGS expression (with λ = 0.01). What value of ID2 would you expect for this output voltage point? Your calculations can consider only M2. f) Suppose that VDD = 7 V and that the "Amp Circuit" connected to M2 can operate at VD2 values up to 6 V. We include the effect of λ in the DCID - VGS expression (with λ = 0.01). What value of ID2 would you expect for this maximum output voltage point? Your calculations can consider only M2.
