1. Explain the common mode operation of a differential amplifier.
2. Explain the differential mode operation of a differential amplifier.
3. Discuss the small-signal operation of the MOS differential
pair.
4. Design the MOS differential amplifier shown in figure to
operate at Vov = 0.3 V and to provide a transconductance
𝑔𝑚 of 1 mA/V. Specify the W/L ratios and the bias current.

the conditions that 𝐼 = 200 µ𝐴 using FETs for which 𝑘𝑛′ =
300 µA/V 2 , and V𝑇 = 1 V . What is the voltage on the
common-source connection for 𝑣𝐺𝑆1 = 𝑣𝐺𝑆2 = 0? 2 V? what
is the relation between the drain currents in each of these
situations? Now for 𝑣𝐺𝑆2 = 0 V, at what voltages must 𝑣𝐺𝑆1
be placed to reduce 𝑖𝐷2 by 10%? What is the differential
voltage, 𝑣𝑖𝑑 = 𝑣𝐺2 − 𝑣𝐺1 , for which the ratio of drain currents
𝑖𝐷2 𝑖𝐷2
is 1.0? 0.5? 0.9? 0.99? for the current ratio = 20.0,
𝑖𝐷1 𝑖𝐷1
what differential input required?

6. Consider the differential amplifier shown in figure with gate of the Q2 grounded and
with gate of the Q1 is connected as vid. Let vid be adjusted to the value that causes iD1
=0.12 mA and iD2 = 0.08 mA. Find the corresponding values of vGS2, vs, vGSl and hence
vid. What is the difference output voltage vD2 - vD2. What is the voltage gain (vD2 -
vD2)/vid. What value of vid results in iD1 =0.12 mA and iD2 = 0.08 mA?
7. An NMOS differential amplifier is operated at a bias current 𝐼 of 0.5 𝑚𝐴 and has a W/L
ratio of 100, µ𝑛 𝐶𝑜𝑥 = 50 µA/V 2 , VA = 100 V, and 𝑅𝐷 = 4 KΩ. Find VOV , g m , r0 and
Ad .
8. A design error has resulted in a gross mismatch in the circuit. Specifically, Q2 has twice
the W/L ratio of Q1. If vid is a small sine-wave signal, find:
(a) ID1 and ID2.
(b) Vov for each of Q1 and Q2.
(c) The differential gain Ad in terms of RD, I, and Vov.

9. An NMOS differential pair is biased by a current source 𝐼 = 0.4 𝑚𝐴 having an output


resistance 𝑅𝑆𝑆 = 100 KΩ. The amplifier has drain resistances 𝑅𝐷 = 5 KΩ , using
transistors with 𝑘𝑛′ 𝑊/𝐿 = 4 𝑚A/V 2 , and 𝑟0 that is large.
(a) If the output is taken single-endedly, find |𝐴𝑑 | , |𝐴𝑐𝑚 | and CMRR.
(b) If the output is taken differentially and there is a 2% mismatch between the drain
resistances, find |𝐴𝑑 | , |𝐴𝑐𝑚 | and CMRR.

10. The differential amplifier in figure utilizes a resistor Rss to establish a 1-mA dc bias
current. Note that this amplifier uses a single 5-V supply and thus needs a dc common-
mode voltage VCM. Transistors Q1 and Q2 have 𝑘𝑛′ 𝑊/𝐿 = 5 𝑚A/V 2 , 𝑉𝑡 = 0.7 𝑉, and
𝜆 = 0.
