EECE488 Analog CMOS Integrated Circuit Design Assignment 1 Due: Tuesday February 8th, 2011 at 9:30am

1. In the following circuit assume that the bulks of the two NMOS transistors are connected to ground, =0, and 0. a) What is the region of operation of transistor M1? b) Does the region of operation of M1 depend on the relative sizing of the transistors. In other word, does it depend on the values W1, W2, L1, and L2. c) Assume that the Ibias and the transistor sizes are chosen such that the drain voltage of M1 is very close to zero. Find the expression for the output resistance of the circuit seen at the drain of M2 in terms of circuit parameters.

2. Based on Problem 2.16 of the Razavis book: a) Consider the structure shown in the following figure. Determine ID as a function of VGS and VDS and prove that the structure can be viewed as a single transistor having an aspect ratio W/(2L). Assume = = 0.

b) Repeat part a for the following structure (assuming both transistors have the same aspect ratio W/L) and show that the structure can be viewed as a single transistor having an aspect ratio of 2W/L.

3. Calculate the output resistance (VX/IX) of the following circuits. Assume 0 and 0.

Good luck.
