1 Biasing in MOSFET Amplifiers Biasing: Creating the circuit to establish the desired DC oltages and currents for the operation of the amplifier Four common ways:. Biasing by fixing GS. Biasing by fixing G and connecting a resistance in the Source 3. Biasing using a Drain-to-Gate Feedback Resistor 4. Biasing Using a Constant-Current Source MOSFETs

6 Current Mirror DC Analysis The width and length (the W/L aspect ratio) and the parameters of the two transistors can be different We can choose W/L freely n this circuit, consider W/L of both MOSFETs are the same and transistors are identical. The Gate-Source oltages are also the same, then REF k n k W L n W L ( ) GS ( ) GS t t REF W L L W REF W L - GS + + GS - MOSFETs 6 W L

9 MOSFET Design Space Modern integrated circuits use MOSFETs extensiely ery high densities of transistors up to 0 9 transistors/cm in some ULS memory arrays. Off-chip discrete resistors and capacitors are NOT commonly used On-chip resistors and capacitors generally small Multistage amplifiers are usually DC-coupled Transistors used whereer possible to implement current sources, resistors, capacitors, MOSFETs 9

10 Using MOSFETs to implement R s and C s Resistors: Actie Loads (large R s) Diode-connected loads (small R s) MOSFET Triode-Region (moderate R s) Capacitors Most obious is the gate-body capacitor Can be used to hae ariable-capacitors as well Current Mirrors MOSFETs 0

11 MOSFET Actie Loads MOSFETs used as an actie load for high resistances: MOSFET is held in saturation with the source and gate held at a constant DC oltage Drain connected to circuit r o is inersely proportional to D r o λ D gs 0 g m gs 0 R in r o R in? MOSFETs

12 Diode-Connected MOSFETs A Diode connected MOSFET can be used to achiee small resistances: The Drain is directly connected to Gate, and therefore it can only be operated in saturation (or cutoff) Source Absorption Theorem MOSFETs

13 MOSFET Current Mirrors Used extensiely in MOSFET C applications Often r o,is neglected. Since there is no gate current, the drain currents of M and M are identical n practice, REF due to finite r o. (Not included in EC) W REF kn X t ( + λx L X ( ) ) GS DS X - GS GS The current will also depend on DS - MOSFETs 3

14 Current Mirror DC Analysis The width and length (the W/L aspect ratio) of MOSFETs can be designed almost freely Since the W/L of M and M need not be the same, the size ratios can affect current ratios REF k REF n k n W L W L W L ( ) GS ( ) GS L W t t W L W L - GS + + GS - MOSFETs 4

(AC Ground) Since source terminal not at signal ground, the body effect is present. Typically used as second stage of a multi-stage amplifier circuit MOSFETs 5

26 CGA DC Analysis Current mirror is assumed to be ideal during the DC analysis, thus REF DC oltage at the source terminal ( S ) must be obtained from driing the current REF through the transistor.

Theory of Operation. Figure 1 illustrates a fan motor circuit used in an automobile application. The TPIC2101. 27.4 kω AREF. In many applications, a key design goal is to minimize variations in power delivered to a load as the supply voltage varies. This application brief describes a simple DC brush motor control circuit using
