Note 1:
Problem Set 9 is the last problem set of the Spring 2021
semester that will be collected
and graded.
1. Simple
and Widlar Current Sink and Source Calculations
(a)
Compute a value for IC2 which is the
current you would sink from a circuit requiring that current bias level.
(b)
Design a Widlar current
source to sink the current computed in Part (a). Refer to Figure 2. You have a fair amount of design flexibility
in R1 and the resultant value of R2.
2. Current Source System From
An Old Quiz
Assume b >> 1, VBE(on) = 0.7 volts, all npn junction areas identical, and all pnp junction areas are identical.
IREF =
______________ IC2 = _____________________
IC3 = _______________ IC4 = _______________ R2 = ______________
3.
Text 16.8 Only Part (b) and assume λ = 0. This is an NMOS current mirror system, Figure
16.8. “One liner” of arithmetic without a calculator”! You can throw away your calculator for this
problem.
4. Adapted from an old
quiz. NMOS Current Mirror System.
Similar to Problem 3 with some added wrinkles.
Once you realize that ID2 = 50 μA the
problem can be done by inspection, or at most on one line, without a
calculator! Several elements
of
This problem were used on an old quiz.
Assume the following:
(a) M1 and M2 are matched (b) l = 0 for all MOSFETS (c) L
identical for all FETS. (d) ID2 = 50 μA.
(e) W1=W2=W3=W6=W8 (f) W4=W5=2
x W2 (g) W7 = 3 x W8 (h) Except for W/L ratios established by the
photolithography design, the fabrication process is the same for all FETs.
Pay attention to sign
conventions!
Provide values for:
ID3 =__________________ ID4 =
____________________ ID7 ________________
ID5 = _________________ (Trick
question. Careful-look at the drain circuit for M5!
