The voltage gain of an amplifier is described in the s-domain as shown below. Av(s) = -gm R1/R1 + 1/sC1 (R2 || sC2) a) Determine the pole(s) if any. Show your work! b) Determine the zeros(s) if any. Show your work! c) Crudely graph a straight line approximation for the Bode Plot of the voltage gain as function of frequency. Label key values and slopes. You may make reasonable approximations for the relative values of poles and zeros. In other words, you may assume that a particular pole/zero is larger than another, and that choice is yours.

Consider the amplifier shown below along with a description of its voltage gain in the s-domain (Av(s)) a) Determine expressions for the poles and zeros, if any. Show your work! You may leave your answers as a function of Rb instead of R1||R2. b) Crudely graph a straight line approximation for the Bode Plot of |Vo/Vin| as a function of frequency. If there are multiple poles you may assume that the one at the output (containing terms at the output: RL, Rd, C2 ) is larger. Av(s) = -gm Rb/Rb + 1/sC1 (Rd||(1/sC2 + RL)) Where: Rb = R1||R2 and the notation Z1(s)||Z2(s) denotes that impedances Z1 and Z2 are in parallel

a) Your job is to design the following circuit, using 2 mA of bias current and achieve a gain of at least 3.5 V/V. You realize that you can bias an amplifier using degeneration resistance using the circuit topology shown below. Calculate values for RS to get 2 mA of current, and RL to get the gain you need. For large signal calculations, you may assume lambda = 0. What is the problem with this amplifier? b) You suggest replacing the load resistance RL with a current source that has a very large output impedance, as shown below. The current source requires a headroom of at least 0.5 V. What is the gain of the amplifier? How does this fix the problem from the previous part? 1 Debugging Amplifiers Suppose you are given an NMOS transistor with the following parameters: In addition, VDD = 5 V.
