Question 8

Essay

     Figure 9.8.1 The two-stage CMOS op amp shown in Fig. 9.8.1 utilizes eight transistors,  Q_{1}  to  Q_{8} , all having the same channel length  L . Transistors  Q_{1}  and  Q_{2}  are matched and  Q_{3}  and  Q_{4}  are matched. For the process technology utilized,  \mu_{n}=4 \mu_{p} . All transistors have the same Early voltage,  \left|V_{A}\right| . (a) If the width of each of  Q_{1}  and  Q_{2}  is denoted  W , find the width of each of  Q_{3}  to  Q_{8}  in terms of  W  so that all transistors operate at equal overdrive voltages, and that  Q_{6}  conducts a de bias current equal to that supplied by  Q_{7} . Neglect the Early effect for this part. (b) Derive an expression for the overall voltage gain in terms of  \left|V_{A}\right|  and  \left|V_{O V}\right| . Hence, determine the required value of  \left|V_{O V}\right|  for the case  \left|V_{A}\right|=10   \mathrm{V}  and the voltage gain required is  2500 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{V} .

Figure 9.8.1
The two-stage CMOS op amp shown in Fig. 9.8.1 utilizes eight transistors, Q1Q_{1} to Q8Q_{8} , all having the same channel length LL . Transistors Q1Q_{1} and Q2Q_{2} are matched and Q3Q_{3} and Q4Q_{4} are matched. For the process technology utilized, μn=4μp\mu_{n}=4 \mu_{p} . All transistors have the same Early voltage, VA\left|V_{A}\right| .
(a) If the width of each of Q1Q_{1} and Q2Q_{2} is denoted WW , find the width of each of Q3Q_{3} to Q8Q_{8} in terms of WW so that all transistors operate at equal overdrive voltages, and that Q6Q_{6} conducts a de bias current equal to that supplied by Q7Q_{7} . Neglect the Early effect for this part.
(b) Derive an expression for the overall voltage gain in terms of VA\left|V_{A}\right| and VOV\left|V_{O V}\right| . Hence, determine the required value of VOV\left|V_{O V}\right| for the case VA=10\left|V_{A}\right|=10 V\mathrm{V} and the voltage gain required is 2500 V/V2500 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{V} .
