Why Amplifiers? Amplifiers are essential building blocks of both analog and digital systems. Amplifiers are needed for variety of reasons including: To amplify a weak analog signal for further processing To reduce the effects of noise of the next stage To provide a proper logical levels(in digital circuits) Amplifiers also play a crucial role in feedback systems We first look at the low-frequency performance of amplifiers.Therefore, all capacitors in the small-signal model are ignored! 705/74

Therefore, all capacitors in the small-signal model are ignored!

Amplifier Characteristics -1 Ideally we would like that the output of an amplifier be a linear function of the input,i.e.,the input times a constant gain: y=01X In real world the input-output characteristics is typically a nonlinear function: X1 X2 X 03/74

Amplifier Characteristics-2 It is more convenient to use a linear approximation of a nonlinear function. Use the tangent line to the curve at the given(operating)point. y◆ X The larger the signal changes about the operating point,the worse the approximation of the curve by its tangent line. This is why small-signal analysis is so popular! 705/24

Amplifier Trade-offs In practice,when designing an amplifier,we need to optimize for some performance parameters.Typically,these parameters trade performance with each other,therefore,we need to choose an acceptable compromise.

Single-Stage Amplifiers We will examine the following types of amplifiers: 1.Common Source 2.Common Drain(Source Follower 3.Common Gate 4.Cascode and Folded Cascode 。 Each of these amplifiers have some advantages and some disadvantages.Often,designers have to utilize a cascade combination of these amplifiers to meet the design requirements. 03/74 ))

Common Source Basics -1 In common-source amplifiers,the input is (somehow!)connected to the gate and the output is(somehow!)taken from the drain. We can divide common source amplifiers into two groups: 1.Without source degeneration (no body effect for the main transistor): 2. With source degeneration (have to take body effect into account for the main transistor): 尺deg 032W 8

Common Source Basics -2 In a simple common source amplifier: 李Ro gate voltage variations times gm gives the drain current variations, drain current variations times the load gives the output voltage variations. Therefore,one can expect the small-signal gain to be: A=gm·RD 3/4
