Unit 3.1 Miller Effect

This document discusses the frequency response of circuits. It covers Miller effect, which describes how the capacitance between the input and output of an amplifier appears larger at the input. The frequency response is affected by parasitic capacitances in MOS devices. High frequency models that account for these parasitic capacitances are needed to accurately predict behavior at high frequencies. Miller's theorem is presented as a way to approximate circuit behavior at high frequencies by increasing the input capacitance. An example circuit is shown to demonstrate determining the transfer function using Miller's approximation.

Frequency Response

The frequency response of a circuit is the variation in its behavior with change in signal frequency. The frequency
response of a circuit may also be considered as the variation of the gain and phase with frequency. In this chapter,
we study the behavior of single-stage and differential amplifiers in the frequency domain. A MOS device exhibits
four capacitances: CGS,CG D,CDB, and CSB. This input capacitances’ affect the gain at high frequencies in the
operation of amplifiers.

High frequency models are necessary for accurately predicting the behavior of a MOSFET at high frequency
ranges, such as those used in radio frequency (RF) applications. These models take into account the parasitic
components of the MOSFET, such as the gate-source and drain-source capacitances, that have a significant impact
on the device's performance at high frequencies. In this section, we discuss two approximations, namely, Miller’s
theorem and association of poles with nodes for accurately predicting the behavior of a MOSFET at high
frequency ranges .

Miller Effect

The Miller effect is usually used to describe a situation where the capacitance between the input and output
of an amplifier appears as a larger capacitance at the input.

Miller theorem states that a circuit having an impedance (Z), connecting between two nodes where the
voltage levels are V1 and V2. When this impedance is replaced by two different impedance values and
connected to the same input & output terminals to the ground for analyzing the frequency response of the
amplifier as well as to increase the input capacitance.

Example

Z = 1/(CF s) and Z1 =[1/(CF s)]/(1 + A). That is, the input capacitance is equal to CF(1 + A). We call this effect
“Miller multiplication” of the capacitor.
