By convention I B flows into the noninverting input, and V O = AI B R T + AV OS where A is the gain of the amplifier, namely A = 1 + R F R 1 = The intercept of the trenline corresponds to A V OS and from the plot it is 92.6 mv so that V OS = = 0.9 mv Further, the slope of the trendline corresponds to AI B and from the plot it is 608 na so that I B = = 5.9 na The negative sign indicates that I B flows out of the noninverting terminal for this circuit. 6

Assume V TN = 2 V V GS (V) I D (A) I D as a function of V GS at V DS = 12 V I D = K n (V GS V TN ) 2 I D K n = (V GS V TN ) 2 Substitute the values for V GS and I D from the table into the second equation to find K n = A V 2,, K n = A V 2. The average value is K n = A V 2 9

10 Problem 7 The transistor in the circuit shown has K n = 0.5 ma V 2, V TN = 2 V, and λ = 0. Further, R S = 12K. Determine I DQ, assuming the MOSFET operates in the saturation region. (6 points) I D = K n (V GS V TN ) 2 Since the gate current is zero, V G = 0 and V GS = 0 V S = V S. Further, V S = 9 + I D R S so that V GS = 9 I D R S. Thus I D = K n (9 I D R S V TN ) 2 = 0.5(9 12(I D ) 2) 2 ma A trial-and-error solution reveals that I D = 0.5 ma is a solution. Question 8 The circuit shown uses an NMOS transistor to implement a current source. For the transistor, V TN = 1 V and K n = 12.5 μa V 2. What is the required value op V GS so that I dc = 25 μa? (3 points) What is the compliance voltage? (2 points) I D = K n (V GS V TN ) = ( )(V GS 1) 2 2 = (V GS 1) 2 V GS = = V To function as a current source the transistor must be in saturation, or V DS > V DS (sat). Now, V DS (sat) = V GS V TN = = V. Thus, the compliance voltage is V. 10

11 Problem 9 The so-called diode-connected transistor is sub circuit that appears in many other circuits. Of interest is the output resistance. Draw the small-signal model and determine R o. Be sure to include the transistor s own output resistance r o. What is a simplified expression for R O when r O is very large? (10 points) Below is the small signal model with a test voltage V x. The next step is to find I x and then R O = V x I x. Note that v gs = V x and KCL at the drain gives I x + g m V x + V x r o = 0 V x I x = R O = When r O is large, r O g m 1 and R O 1 g m. r o = r 1 + r o g o 1 m g m 11

12 Problem 10 Using the results from the previous problem, determine R O for the circuits below if I D = 0.5 ma, and λ = 0.02 V 1 and K n = 0.1 ma/v 2 and K p = 0.06 ma/v 2, and R g = 1M. (6 points) (a) (b) (c) The two NMOS circuits, namely (a) and (b) have identical output resistances no current flows through R G so in both cases v G = v D. Further, g m = 2 K n I D = ma V and r O = 1 (λi D ) = 100K. Thus R O = 1 g m r O = 2.24K 100K = 2.19K For the PMOS device Further, g m = 2 K p I D = ma V and r O = 1 (λi D ) = 100K. Thus R O = 1 g m r O = 2.89K 100K = 2.81K 12

13 Question 11 A MOEFET amplifier along with the FET and circuit parameters are shown below. C C1, C C2 are coupling capacitors. Determine R 1, R 2 such that R in = 200K, and I DQ = 3 ma. (10 points) K n = 2 ma V 2 V TN = 2 V λ = 0 V DD = 15 V R S = 0.5K R D = 2K R in = 200K R 1 =? R 2 =? R L = 5K I DQ = 3 ma I DQ = K n (V GS V TN ) = (V GS 2) 2 Solving yields V GS = V. Further, V S = I DQ R S = ( )( ) = 1.5 V. Thus, V G = V GS + V S = V. Resistors R 1, R 2 form a voltage divider and the task is to select value such that and R 2 15 R 1 + R2 = V R 1 R 2 = R 1R 2 R 1 + R 2 = 200K Solving these two equations (with two unknowns), yields R 1 = 635K, and R 2 = 292K 13

14 Question 12 The parameters of the transistor are K n = 0.5 ma V 2, V TN = 1.2 V and λ = 0. Further, the bias current is I Q = 50 μa. Determine v GS (5 points) and v DS (2 points) for the circuit. For I D = 50 μa: I D = K n (v GS V TN ) = ( )(v GS 1.2) 2 v GS = 1.2 ± v GS = 1.2 ± v GS = V or v GS = V The solution v GS = V is the proper solution since v GS = V would imply that the FET is off, because this is less than V TN. v DS = 5 ( 1.516) = V 14

15 Question 13 An op-amp has a voltage gain of 100 db at dc and a unity-gain frequency of 5 MHz. (a) What is f B, the low frequency 3-dB cutoff frequency? (2 points) (b) Write an expression for the transfer function A(f) for the open loop gain of the op amp (2 points) (c) The op-amp is used in a non-inverting configuration with a gain of 40 db. What is the bandwidth of the feedback amplifier? (2 points) (d) Write an expression for the transfer function A(f) for the feedback gain of the op amp. (2 points) (e) By how much (i.e., how many microseconds) does the amplifier delay a 10 khz sine wave? (3 points) Assume that the op-amp has a single-pole frequency response. (a) 100 db of voltage gain is equivalent to a voltage gain of 10 5 and the GBW is 5 MHz. Thus, the low frequency 3-dB point is = 50 Hz. (b) The transfer function for the open loop amplifier is A(f) = j f. 50 (c) The GBP is 5 MHz, so that an amplifier with gain 100 ( 40 db) will have a bandwidth of = 50 khz. (d) The transfer function for the feedback amplifier is (e) The phase at 10-kHz is 100 A(f) =. f 1 + j θ = tan = The period of a 10-kHz sine wave is 100 μs so that corresponds to a delay of Δt = μs = 3.14 μs

16 Question 14 Consider the amplifier shown. The transistor has an Early voltage V A = 50 V. A dc analysis reveals that I D = 1.06 ma, and g m = ma V. Assume that the coupling capacitors are large enough so that they are shorts at the operating frequency. Draw the corresponding small-signal circuit. Incorporate the MOSFETs output resistance r o. Next, determine the amplifier s voltage gain. Finally, determine the amplifier s input and output resistances. (25 points) C C = Coupling Capacitors R G = 10M R D = 10K R L = 10K The small-signal model for the amplifier is shown right. The numerical values for all components are known, except for r o. However, we can calculate that from r o = V A I D = 47K. We can lump r o, R D, and R L together as R L = r o R D R L = 4.52K. Next, write a KCL equation at the output node v o R L + g mv gs + v o v i R G = 0 From the small-signal model it is clear that v gs = v i so that the equation above becomes Some algebraic manipulation yields v o R L + g mv i + v o v i R G = 0 A v = v o = g v m R 1 (1 g mr G ) L i 1 + (R L R G ) Substituting R L = 4.52K, g m = ma V and R G = 10M yields A V =

17 Determine the input resistance using the standard procedure: turn off independent sources, drive the circuit with a test source V x and determine the current I x that flows. Then, R i = V x I x. Referring to the small signal model given above, we can simply replace v i with V x and then I x = V x v o R G However, we already determined that A v = 3.3 so we can write v o = 3.3V x so that I x = V x + 3.3V x R G R i = V x = R G I X = 2.33M Determine the output resistance using the standard procedure: turn off independent sources, drive the circuit at the output with a test source V x and determine the current I x that flows. Then, R o = V x I x. If we turn off the independent source, namely v i and add a test source, the model below results. Clearly the control voltage v gs = 0 and the current source is off, so KCL at the drain gives I x + V x r o + V x R D + V x R G = 0 R o = V x I x = r o R D R G Substituting the numerical values give R o = 8.4K. 17
