Exercises for Differential Amplifiers

Exercise 1: Compute VD , VS , VDS and VGS if ID3 = 2 mA, RD = 500 Ω, VOV3 = 0.5 V, and identical Q1 &Q2 with µnCox (W/L ) = 8 mA/V2, Vt = 0.5 V, λ = 0. A) For VG = 0 and B) For VG = 1 V. Repeat the exercise for λ = 0.1 V-1.

This exercise shows that precise biasing of Q1 and Q2 is not necessary as VS adjusts itself automatically.

Inclusion of channel-width modulation does not impact the bias points of Q1 and Q2 (which is set by the current source).

Exercise 7: What is the input common-mode range in the circuit below. Q1 and Q2 are Identical and RD = 500. Use µnCox (W/L ) = 8 mA/V2 , Vt = 0.5 V and VG3 = −1 V.

The input common-mode level is the range of DC values that can be applied to the gate of Q1 and Q2 (bias + signal) for which transistors remain in saturation. o Basically we are looking for range of DC

voltages (i.e., bias) that can be applied to Q1 and Q2 while keeping them in saturation.

o Then, for any given bias voltage, we can calculate the range of common-mode signals that can be applied to the circuit.

There are two limits: 1) for Q1 and Q2 remain in saturation, 2) for Q3 to remain in saturation.

It is straight forward to extend this to active loads.

Exercise 8: Circuit below is designed to operate at zero bias voltage at the gate of Q1 and Q2 (Q1 & Q2 are matched and λ = 0). The practical circuit, however includes a slight mis-match of RD1 = RD − 0.5 ∆RD and RD2 = RD + 0.5 ∆RD (∆RD /RD is small). A) If v1 = v2 = 0, find Vo = vo2 − vo1 (Differential DC voltage at the output). B) For what values of VOS = v2 − v1, the DC output voltage will be zero. Ignore channel-width modulation.

No amplifier chip can be manufactured with perfect symmetry. Mis-matches not only affect CMRR but DC voltages.

Differential DC voltage at the output and the input offset voltage, VOS , are important specs. Chips typically include pins for feedback to zero out these voltages.

Note: v1 and v2 are DC values in this problem, they can be viewed either as mis-matched bias (and no signal) and/or signal (but with a matched “zero” bias).

The above equation indicates VS1 changes and tracks VCM as VCM changes. VS1 is limited by two criteria below:

V 2.0 1.2 .51 ≤+≤− CMV

V 0.8 .72 ≤≤− CMV

Note that the requirement on Q1/Q3 in saturation is usually more restrictive than above as Q1/Q3 do not usually reach saturation together (calculation above represents “the best case”). However, correct solution requires that we include channel-width modulation and calculate the relationship between VSD1 & VDS3 (same arguments apply to part e).
