    EE479L 2018 FALL Homework 3 Due by Friday, Oct 19, 12:00pm


    Mike Chen Homework 3 (Due Oct 13 in class) EE479Fall 2017

    Aoyang Zhang

    1.
    (i) A differential pair uses input NMOS devices with W/L = 50/0.5 and a tail
    current of 1mA. K = 134u

    (a) What is the equilibrium overdrive voltage of each transistor?


    (b) How is the tail current shared between the two sides if Vin1-Vin2 =
    50mA?
    (c) What is the equivalent Gm under this condition?
    (d) For what value of Vin1 – Vin2 does the Gm drop by 10%? By 90%?

    (ii) Repeat Problem (i) with W/L = 25/0.5, compare the results and give your
    quantitative explanation.

    (iii) Repeat Problem (i) with a tail current of 2mA, compare the results and give
    your quantitative explanation.

    2. Due to a manufacturing defect, a large parasitic resistance has appeared


    between the drain and source terminals of M1 in Fig. 1. Assuming no channel
    length modulation and body effect, calculate the small-signal gain,
    common-mode gain and CMRR.

    Figure 1
    3. Assuming no symmetry in the circuit of Fig. 2 and using no equivalent circuits,
    calculate the small-signal voltage gain (Vout)/(Vin1 – Vin2). Considering body effect
    only.

    Figure 2

    4. Assuming the circuit shown in Fig. 3 is symmetric, sketch Vout as (a) Vin1 and Vin2
    vary differentially from zero to VDD, and (b) Vin1 and Vin2 are equal and they vary
    from zero to VDD

    Figure 3

    5. One important advantage of differential amplifier is its ability to reject


    even-order harmonic nonlinearity. In fig 4, shows a basic single-ended amplifier
    and a differential amplifier. Assume the input signal is DC component
    superimposed with small signal Vmcos(ωt). Derive the amplitude of second
    harmonic terms normalized to the fundamental in both circuit, and compare the
    result to give quantitative explanation. In the final derivation, the term with
    cos(ωt) is defined as fundamental and the term with cos(2ωt) is defined as
    second harmonic.
    (Hint: The DC analysis to get current v.s. cos(ωt) relationship is necessary to solve
    this problem.)
