    Simulation of a self-biased reference

    Basically in the 0 current situation, you want the positive feedback to be strong. For that you are keeping the current mirror ratio for both PMOS and NMOS >1. While this should always work, there is the situation of true 0 current. Where still 0 x Large Mirror Ratio = 0. So in theory you would...

    PTAT current source vs LDO to bias a ring oscillator for PVT insensitivity and power

    One thing you would want to check is how your PVT corners are defined. With your PTAT bias version, your frequency is a function of 1/(R x C x Vth) In your process corner file, can you independently vary R, C and Mos corners? Also, I am guessing here with the limited info, in the LDO version...

    Simulation of a self-biased reference

    Your zero current state depends on a bunch of things to happen together. Vds mismatch in the PMOS Mirrors will cause the currents to be different by default, causing positive feedback to be stronger. Vth mismatch in the NMOS Mirrors due to different Vsb will also cause the currents to be...

    Fully differential amplifier design

    I am not sure what you mean "without VSS" I am guessing a negative VSS. But any way, as you would have been taught, the critical specification for this would be Input Common Mode Range. What is the range of inputs your OPAMP can expect to work with? Is it Rail to Rail (0 to VDD) or more...

    Fully differential amplifier design

    1. Back calculate the Open Loop Gain and Bandwidth Specification. 2. Also check the Input and Output Common mode Range. (Rail to Rail input/output or anything else. From 2 you can decide whether you need NMOS input or PMOS input or both(rail to rail) From 2 you can also figure out whether you...

    feedback mechanism

    By "logically" I meant by just using the DC KVL/KCL equations... Perhaps not the best phrasing!

    feedback mechanism

    I "think" fundamentally you are trying to apply KCL/KVL type DC equations to a system which has loops. When there are loops, we have to look at causality. And a system which is has right half plane poles will be non-causal. By my understanding we cannot apply regular DC equations here. ( We can...

    question about heavy load amplifier compensation structure

    Why can't you make your output (load) pole the dominant pole? I.e. do a Dominant pole compensation

    Question on ADC

    You need a True Bipolar ADC Something like this https://docs.rs-online.com/47ff/0900766b80e41b26.pdf Or shift/translate your input to the levels of the ADC that you have using some bipolar opamps and such.

    Opamp unstable while designing BGR

    In a BGR, there is going to be 2 loops. The Positive Feedback Loop, The Negative Feedback Loop. When you run the stb analysis, ensure that you are breaking the right loop. (ie. inserting the voltage source at the right loop) Also, at the steady state operating point, your positive feedback...

    [SOLVED] TR Saturation for Cascode Amplifier

    If you see the structure of your opamp, basically it is opposing current sources. You have Ibias2 and PM0 and PM1 sourcing current and NM8 sinking it at the bottom. Just imagine what would happen to the center voltage if a current source and a current sink are in series and their values are...

    Capacitorless LDO supplies SRAM IP

    Tell you boss that you'll need 10mA to keep your design stable with the unknowns and they will come back all the information you need. Unless you are the boss...!

    [SOLVED] TR Saturation for Cascode Amplifier

    Just check the Ibias1 and Ibias3 in your bias circuit. Are they in the exact proportion that you expect them to be in? They are not cascoded either. In the video they have not used any bias circuit but seem to have used very absurdly specific sizes to balance the circuit. 1.799u and what not...

    Capacitorless LDO supplies SRAM IP

    If you consider individual Pass stages for each SRAM, then your load cap is not large. It is just unknown (for now). The FVF loop will provide a fast loop for transient. Since you load is digital, the load regulation need not be accurate. Consider the Fig3 in the FVF paper I linked above. ere...

    [SOLVED] TR Saturation for Cascode Amplifier

    A fully differential opamp needs a Common Mode Feedback Circuit (CMFB).
