Final 2016 Answer

1. The document discusses various topics related to differential amplifiers and op amp circuits, including: - Converting signals from differential to single-ended models - Providing voltage gain and high input resistance - Improving the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) 2. Key aspects that determine the bandwidth of op amp circuits are the various pole frequencies introduced by capacitors and resistors in the feedback network. 3. Cascading common collector (CC) and common emitter (CE) stages provides both high gain from the CE stage and greater high frequency response by reducing the Miller effect with the CC stage.

1.

(a) To convert a signal from differential model to a single-ended model


(b) To provide the necessary voltage gain.

2. (a) Provide high resistance


(b) It’s cheaper than big resistor in IC
(c) It can provide a great symmetry of the circuit to a differential pair

3. CMRR=¿ A d∨ ¿ ¿ CMRR is important because it means the ability of elimination noise of a

differential amplifier.

4. By choosing this capacitor properly, the op amp should have a gain that decrease with frequency at -
20dB/decade down to 0dB(unity gain). It’s designed to provide the op amp with a dominate pole so let
the circuit will be stable.

5. To make Q2, Q4 drive the drain current of I . If not, the current flow through the differential amplifier

will mismatch.

In order to improve CMRR, we can raise R SS by increasing L of Q5

∵ R CS ≪ R C 1 , RC 2 ∴ f p 3 ≫ f p 1 , f p 2 ∴The dominated pole will be ω p 3which is introduced by C S.

11. By teaching of Dr. Yeh, Ting-Jen, you can handle it fucking easily.

12. Take BJT for instance:


1 gm
A M =gm r π , ωb = ∴ A M × ωb= =ωT
(C π +C μ)r π (C π +C μ )

13. Because CG amplifier has higher f H than CS amplifier

14. Because C m acts as a short circuit causing V gs=0 and hence I d 4 =0 at high frequency.

The purpose of CC-CE cascade configuration is to provide both high gain(from CE) and great high
frequency response(By CC reduces Miller’s effect)

R¿
Gain of CE is AV =( −g m R L ) ≅ AV → high gain
CE
R¿ + Rsig
Time constant of CE isτ H =C π R π +C μ Rμ > τ H → f H ↑
CE
16. Because large R sig will reduce the dc gain of the cascade. While the dc gain of the cascade will be the
same as that achieved in a CS amplifier( A o ¿, the bandwidth f H will be greater for the cascade amplifier.
