Figure 6 (a) shows the circuit diagram for a differential amplifier. You may assume
that M1 and M2 have identical parameters. Referring to Figure 6 (a):
(а)
What kind of amplifier is it? What is its role in a three-stage op amp?
Draw the small signal equivalent circuit and derive the differential voltage gain
Adiff. For the analysis consider RD1 = RD2 = RD, gml = gm2 gm, and rol = ro2 =r
>>Rp. State any assumption.
(b)
What is the new Adiff in the circuit of Figure 6 (b), where a PMOS current source
has replaced the two drain resistors RpI = RD2 = RD and a NMOS current sink
has replaced the source resistor Rs?
(c)
What are the advantages in using the circuit of Figure 6 (b) instead of Figure
6 (a) to realize an op amp?
