Ve311 Homework #7
Note:
(1) Please use A4 size papers.
(2) Please use the SPICE model in page 3 for simulation and calculation.
1. [Common-Source with Resistive Load + Source Follower]
(a) [50%] Assume λ = 0 and γ = 0. For VDD = 5 V, VIN = 1 V, Vb = 1 V,
(Wdrawn/Ldrawn)1 = 50 µm / 2 µm, (Wdrawn/Ldrawn)2 = (Wdrawn/Ldrawn)3 = 20
µm / 2 µm, RD = 10 kΩ and RL = 2 kΩ, what is the voltage gain Av for
each circuit below? Does the voltage gain drop significantly after adding
a small resistive load (RL) and then recover after adding a source follower
(M2 and M3) as a buffer?
(b) [25%] For each circuit below, using the design and biasing condition
in (a), plot Vout and Av as a function of Vin (from 0 V to 5 V) in Pspice.
Compare the hand-calculation results in (a) with the simulation results
here.
(c) [25%] For circuit (iii), using the design and biasing conditions in (a),
plot Vout as a function of time (from 0 to 0.1 second) in Pspice, when Vin
= 1 + A × sin(2π100t) (V) and A = 0.01 V, 0.1 V and 1 V. What do you
observe when the amplitude increases?
