Hi Guys,
I am trying to check the regions of operation for a differential CMOS opamp in Cadence spectre. I can see the regions as 0,1,2,3 but I am having some problems in applying the inputs for the differential amplifier to get the DC operating points for every transistor in the design.
My configuration is a fully differential folded cascode with differential PMOS and NMOS input transistors shown in the picture below.
To get the DC operating point, do I connect one inverting terminal of the PMOS and NMOS to +1V and another to -1V?
Any help in trying to understand how to bias the differential amplifier to see the DC operating regions is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
