2 Background Differential Amplifiers The input stage of every op amp is a differential amplifier Immunity to temperature effects Ability to amplify dc signals Well-suited for IC fabrication because (a) they depend on matching of elements (b) they use more components Less sensitive to noise and interference Enable to bias amplifier and connect to other stage without the use of coupling capacitors ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 2

3 Differential Amplifiers Practical Considerations Both inputs to a differential amplifier may have different voltages applied to them In the ideal situation with perfectly symmetric stages, the common-mode input would lead to zero output Temperature drifts in each stage are often common-mode signals Power supply noise is a common-mode signal and has little effect on the output signal ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 3

4 MOS Differential Pair Assume current source is ideal Transistors should not enter triode region ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 4

5 Common-Mode Operation Input voltage v cm to both gates Difference in voltage between the two drains is zero ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 5

6 Differential Input Voltage Differential pair responds to differntial input signals by providing corresponding differential output signal between the two drains. ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 6

7 MOS Differential Pair Assume current source is ideal v ID =v gs1 -v gs2 Output is collected as v D2 -v D1 ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 7

19 Differential Amplifiers - Observations Observations The differential pair attenuates the input signal of each stage by a factor of one-half cutting the gain of each stage by one-half The double-ended output causes the two singleended gains to be additive Thus, the voltage gain of a perfectly matched differential stage is equal to that of a single stage ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 19

20 Remarks on Differential Amplifiers 1. In many applications, the differential amplifier is not fed in a complementary fashion 2. Rather, the input signal may be applied to one of the input terminals while the other terminal is grounded 3. In this case, the signal voltage at the emitters will not be zero and thus the resistor R EE will have an effect on the operation 4. However, if R EE is large (R EE >> r e ) as is usually the case, v id will still divide equally between the 2 junctions 5. The operation of the differential amplifier will still be almost identical to that of the symmetrical feed and the CE equivalence can still be employed ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 20

28 Example - II In the circuit shown, the dc bias current is 4 ma. If = 0.993, R B1 = R B2 = R B3 = 1,000, R E = 30, R C = 1.6 k, V CC = 10 V, and V BE(on) = 0.7 V, (a) Calculate the dc collector currents (b) Calculate the dc or quiescent collector voltages (c) Calculate the maximum peak value of vout before serious distortion results (d) Calculate the incremental differential voltage gain of the circuit (e) If the base resistor of Q2 is changed to R B2 = 400, calculate the dc collector current through each device ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 28

29 Example - II ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 29

30 Example - II (a) Assuming perfect match between Q1 and Q2, DC bias current will split equally I E1 = I E2 = 2mA. I C =I E =1.986 ma (b) The quiescent collector voltages will equal V I R V CC C C (c) Maximum collector voltage is 10 V (at cutoff) minimum is 0 V (at saturation).therefore, positive peak voltage is = 3.18 V, and negative peak is 6.82 V p-p voltage = 6.36 V ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 30

35 Example - II V V 2 V V outq CQ CQ Nonzero quiescent voltage serious consequences when this stage is followed by additional gain stages, creating an output offset voltage when the inputs are shorted together ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 35

36 Nonideal Characteristics Input offset voltage of MOS differential pair Mismatch can result in a dc output voltage V o (output dc offset voltage) V os =V o /A d is input offset voltage ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 36

37 Nonideal Characteristics If V os is applied (differentially) at the input, a zero voltage difference should result at the output Factors contributing to dc offset voltage 1.

40 Differential-to-Single-Ended Conversion - Beyond first stage, signal can be converted from differential to single-ended - Simply ignore the drain current in Q 1 and eliminate its drain resistor ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 40

41 Differential-to-Single-Ended Conversion Limitations Factor of 2 (6 db) is lost in the gain if drain current of Q 1 is not used Much better approach consists of using drain current of Q 1 Active load approach allows to perform conversion without loss of gain by making use of drain current in Q 1 ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 41

42 MOS Differential Amp with Active Load Replacing drain resistances with current sources, results in much higher voltage gain and savings in chip area in diff amp ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 42

43 MOS Differential Amp - Equilibrium ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 43

54 Frequency Response Common-Mode C SS /2 will form dominant real axis zero at much lower frequency Zero dominates frequency dependence of A cm Common-mode gain is found by analyzing the effect of a mismatch R D in R D ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 54

62 CMOS OP Amp Example In the differential amplifier shown, Q 1 and Q 2 form the differential pair while the current source transistors Q 4 and Q 5 form the active loads for Q 1 and Q 2 respectively. The dc bias circuit that establishes an appropriate dc voltage at the drains of Q 1 and Q 2 is not shown. The following specifications are desired: differential gain A d = 80V/V, I REF = 100 A, the dc voltage at the gates of Q 6 and Q 3 is +1.5V; the dc voltage at the gates of Q 7, Q 4 and Q 5 is 1.5V. The technology available is specified as follows: n C ox =3 p C ox = 90A/V 2 ; V tn = V tp =0.7V, V An = V Ap = 20V. Specify the required value of R and the W/L ratios for all transistors. Also, specify I D and V GS at which each transistor is operating. For dc bias calculations, you may neglect channel-length modulation. Fill in the entries in the table provided to show your results.

To determine V GS for Q 1 and Q 2, we do the following: the equivalent load resistance will consist of r o1 in parallel with r o4 for Q 1 and r o2 in parallel with r o5 for Q 5. Since the r o s are equal, this corresponds to r o /2. We have: ro 2Ad 280 gm Ad gm 0.4 ma / V 2 r 400k o ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 64

68 2-Stage CMOS Op Amp Two-stage configuration with two power supplies which can range from +/- 2.5 V for 0.5 m technology to +/- 0.9 V for 0.18 m technology. I REF is generated either externally or using on-chip CKT. Current mirror formed by Q 5 -Q 8 supplies differential pair Q 1 -Q 2 with bias current. The W/L of Q 5 is selected to control I. The diff pair is actively loaded by current mirror Q 3 -Q 4 ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 68

69 2-Stage CMOS Op Amp Second stage is Q6 which is a CS amplifier for which Q7 is the current source. A capacitor Cc is included for negative feedback to enhance the Miller effect through Q6 compensation. This op amp does not have a low output impedance and is thus not suited for driving a lowimpedance load. The W/L ratios are given and listed below: Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 Q6 Q7 Q8 W/L 20/0.8 20/0.8 5/0.8 5/0.8 40/0.8 10/0.8 40/0.8 40/0.8 Let I 90 A, V 0.7 V, V 0.8V REF tn tp C 160 A/ V, C 40 A/ V 2 2 n ox p ox ECE 442 Jose Schutt Aine 69
