Hi, dear all. I am desiging a cascaded CMOS amplifier with broadband and high gain. One soluion to get broad bandwidth is the use of active inducto formed by NMOS and Resistor. My qustion is , in the papers I read, I found that where the activce inductor is used, no soure follower is followed. Why? Is it beacause the bandwidth is enough that no power need to be "wasted on source follower? Or, there are some other problems? Could any of you please enlight me on this issue?
Thank you in advance. !!!!
