Series connected MOS transistors. As shown in the following figure, two MOS transistors (M1 and M2) are connected in series with the same width and different channel lengths of L1 and L2. Please use the long-channel model to prove that the overall behavior of M1 and M2 is identical to that of a single MOS transistor with the length of (L1+L2).

Series/parallel MOSFETS: Consider the arrangement of MOSFETs shown at the right, with two transistors of size WT/LT connected in parallel, in series with one transistor of size WB/LB. Assume that the MOSFETs are biased above threshold, and neglect body effect and output resistance in the following questions. Use symbolic equations (not simulation results). a) Show that transistor MB can never operate in the saturation region, i.e. it is always in either triode or cut-off. b) What is the size (width and length) of a single transistor Ml that is equivalent to MT1/MT2/MB? Remember to use the I-V characteristic for the appropriate region of operation for each transistor. c) What is the transconductance of MT1/MT2/MB?

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.

The pMOS transistors, M3, 4 in Fig. 3 are identical, having aspect ratio of W3 /L3. M1 and M2 have aspect ratios of W1/L1 and W2/L1. Neglect channel length modulation for this problem.

(ii) What are the transconductances of M1 and M2. (iii) What is the minimum VDD required for this circuit to operate? (iv) Assume that VB is used to bias a common source amplifier (b), whose source is Fig. 3: Problem 3 grounded. Assume M5 is identical to M1. What is the transconductance of M5? How does the transconductance change with a change in mobility of the device? What is the usefulness of this circuit?
