Small Signal Characteristics Inverter with diode connection load How do you get better matching?
Current source load or push-pull • Refer to book for large signal analysis • Must match quiescent currents in PMOS and NMOS transistors • Wider output swing, especially push-pull • Much high gain (at DC), but much lower -3dB frequency (vs diode load) • About the same GB • Very power dependent
Small signal High gain! Especially at low power.
Key to analysis by hand: • Use level 1 or 3 model equations • Use KCL/KVL
Transfer function of a system input u output y System
When u(s) = 0, y(s) satisfies: These dynamics are the characteristic dynamics of the system. The roots of the coefficient polynomial are the poles of the system. When y(s) = 0, u(s) satisfies: These dynamics are the zero dynamics of the system. The roots of the coefficient polynomial are the zeros of the system.
Poles of CMOS Inverters Let vin = 0, x = 0, VDD = 0, VSS = 0. CGS1, CGS2, CBS1, CBS2 are all short y CGD1, CGD2, CBD1, CBD2, CL in parallel C’L = Ctotal = CGD1+ CGD2+ CBD1+ CBD2+ CL
Total conductance from y to ground: go = gds1 + gds2 KCL at node y: Therefore system pole is:
Zeros of CMOS Inverters Let vin = x = u, VDD = 0, VSS = 0. CGD1, CGD2, are in parallel, CBD1, CBD2, CL are all short gds1, gds2 also short No current in them KCL: Zero is:

Unity gain feedback A(s)
If a step input is given, the output response is In the time domain: Final settling determined by A0 need high gain Settling speed determined by A0p1=GB=UGF, need high gain bandwidth product
Gain bandwidth product C’L = Ctotal = CGD1+ CGD2+ CBD1+ CBD2+ CL When CL≈ C’L, W↑GB↑, but it saturates, when
Note: If VEB1 and VEB2 are fixed, W1/L1 and W2/L2 must be adjusted proportionally, and they are proportional to DC power.
Therefore: P is proportional to W1, W2 CL constant, but C(W1,W2) proportional to W1, W2 When C(W1, W2) << CL, GB proportional to P When C(W1,W2)CL or >CL, GB saturates
GB Linear increase region P
For given current or power (current source load) Initially, as W1 increased, GB increases But GB will reach a max, and then drop as W1 increases
To minimize: • L2 >>L1 • En1 small
