Exercise 4.5 AN NMOS amplifier circuit
See the amplifier circuit below. Assume that
is biased in the square law region with drain (bias) current
.
Assume inductors and capacitors can be modelled as opens and shorts for the signal frequency.
-
a)
- Is this an inverting or a non-inverting amplifier? Motivate your answer.
-
b)
- Draw a proper small-signal equivalent circuit.
-
c)
- Derive an expression for the voltage gain
-
d)
- Derive an expression for the input resistance .
