Consider the CMOS amplifier in the common-source configuration from the figure, for the case: VDD = 5 V, Vtn = |Vtp| = 1 V, μnCox = μpCox = 20 μA/V2, W = 100 μm, L = 10 μm, for both types of NMOS, PMOS transistors, and IREF = 100 μA. (i) Assuming all transistors operate in saturation, working with first-order equations, establish the range of output voltage corresponding to the amplifying region, that is, the values VOA′ and VOB′. (ii) Considering |VA| = 100 V for both types of transistors, obtain the small-signal gain vo/vi in the mid-frequency range.

Figure 3 Figure 3 shows an amplifier with a current mirror as an active load. The MOSFETs have the following parameters: Vtn = −Vt = 0.6 V, kn′ = 200 μA/V2, kp′ = 65 μA/V2, VA(MMOS) = 20 V, VA(PMOS) = −10 V, VT = 26 mV, R1 = 7 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ, L = 0.4 μm and W = 4 μm. The base-emitter forward voltage, VBE, of transistor Q4 is 0.7 V. The forward voltage drop for both D1 and D2 is 0.7 V. The supply voltage, VDO = 3 V.
