EE5310/EE3002: Analog Circuits Tutorial 1 Problems 6, 8, 10, 11 Are Optional

This document contains information about problems for an analog circuits tutorial. It includes 4 practice problems related to circuits involving MOSFETs and operational amplifiers. The first problem asks to determine the operating point and small signal voltage for a given circuit. The second problem asks to determine operating points for two nonlinear amplifiers to achieve a desired incremental gain and compares the second order derivatives. The third problem asks to plot drain current versus drain-source voltage for two MOSFET circuits. The fourth problem asks to determine the minimum bias current needed for a MOSFET to operate at the edge of saturation.

k = nCox = 100 A/V2, (W/L) = 10, VT = 0.7 V

For the circuit of Figure 1, assume that vi is an incremental voltage source. Determine the operating point of the
network. Find also the small signal voltage across the 1 k
resistor.

Problem 210)
In this problem, we delve deeper into the notion of small
signal. Consider two nonlinear amplifiers, with inputoutput characteristics given by Vout =
VA exp( VVin
).

An incremental gain of 10 is desired of both amplifers.


Determine the operating points so that this gain may be
achieved.

We saw in class that the small signal approximation


is valid only when the higher order terms in the Taylor series can be safely neglected in relation to the linear
term. Compare the second order derivative of the two
amplifers around the operating point. What can you say
about the relative magnitudes of the incremental inputs
for each of the amplifiers which qualify as small signals
?
