    Thevinin's theorem for caps

    thevinins theorem Can we thevinize a ckt consisting of capacitors...I read somewhere that thevinins theorem can be used for any linear ckt.. Or if somebody could explain how to solve this RC ckt belo for the final voltage across the RC load..

    Bias Circuit IN OPAMP

    Can't we achieve the same Vds by apropriately sizing the NMOS and PMOS current mirrors??

    PMOS DIFTL INPT AND SUBSTRATE NOISE

    Thank u for ur reply grig. But the noisy digital PMOS transistors would be sharing the same n-well with the analog PMOS TXRS right?. Noise could be coupled in through the common n-well?

    PMOS DIFTL INPT AND SUBSTRATE NOISE

    It is mentioned in Razavi design of AIC book pg 663 that by using PMOS differential inputs the effect of substrate noise can be reduced? I did not understand how it could achieve this more than an NMOS input could?

    how to avoid the latch up problem?

    I believe you should connect the n-well to Vdd2 as it has a positive ripple. The n-well acts as the base of the parasitic pnp transistor and if a negative peak comes at the base -nwell- then it can switch on the pnp transistor and possibly sustain a latchup. But since the peaking in Vdd2 is...

    What is CMFB and how it is achieved ??

    Re: What is CMFB ?? Common Mode Feedback circuitry is used to stabilise your output dc voltage in a 2 stage OTA circuit. This is achieved by comparing your output dc level with a reference voltage level and the resulting error voltage is fed back into your first amplifier stage. This error...

    Channel length modulation(Lambda) Vs Channel Length(L)??

    Lambda ∞ (1 / L) your lambda changes with your channel length. So the only way you can determine your lamda is from your Ids vs Vds curve by determining the slope of the curve in the saturation region slope = dIds/ dVds = lamda*Id And we know the Id value Somebody please correct me if I am...

    Size PMOS 2 or 3 times larger than NMOS in the inverter?

    The main idea is that ur rise time and fall time of your output voltage signal are the same. And for this the resistance of the nmos and pmos should be the same. This can be achieved only by sizing the pmos 3 times to the nmos sizing.

    Diode connected transistors

    Can we always convert a diode connected transistor to (1/gm // ro) for small signal analysis irrespective of its source voltage...? even if a resistance is connected to the src.. Am i right?

    Help me identify the circuit in the output stage

    Re: common source stage. I agreee with satyasiva but believe that M5 and M7 form a CS stage if gate of M7 is connected to a fixed bias.

    How the name source follower come out?

    To keep the Bias current constant the Vgs has to remain the same. So the source voltage keeps up (follows) the gate voltage. This is not always true if we take into consideration the body effect - change in Vth as the Vsb not equal to 0

    Unsymmetric differential amplifier

    Could somebody please explain how the gain of a MOS differential amplifier changes with unsymmetrical input transistors. Unsymmetric as in different W/L ratios. Usually both the input transistors have the same sizing.

    Actual sizing in layout of transistors.

    I am a novice in this field. So please do bear with me if the qtn is stupid : ) ... To increase the W/L ratio of a transistor we connect 2 transistors in parallel. if same W/L ratio's the resulting sizing would be 2(W/L). Am I right in this? Similarly how can you achieve a increase in L sizing.
