EE3115 DiscProb2 Sol Sp06

The document is a discussion problem from an electrical engineering course about designing a MOSFET-based differential amplifier. It provides a circuit diagram of the amplifier and asks 5 questions about specifying component values to meet certain design criteria: 1) Set RD to limit power draw to 6mW. 2) Set MOSFET W/L ratio for a gain of 50. 3) Set Rss for a CMRR of 60db. 4) Determine the allowable common-mode input voltage range. 5) Determine the allowable differential input voltage range for 99% linearity.

1. The dc power drawn from the bias supplies under quiescent conditions must not exceed 6
milliwatts. The quiescent dc values of vo1 = vo2 = -8 V. Specify the value of RD.

2. The single-ended differential mode gain Ad = 50. Specify the required W/L ratio of the
MOSFETs.

3. The CMRR of the amplifier is to be 60 db. Specify the required value of Rss.

4. Determine the allowable range of vicm. The voltage drop, Vcs, across the current source
must not drop below 2V. Assume Rss is infinite for this step.

5. Determine the allowable range of vid assuming a linearity of 99% or better (i.e. the nonlinear
term in the active region expression for the drain current is to be 0.99 or larger as discussed
in lecture).
