Single-Stage Integrated Circuit Amplifier
• Introduction :
– We have studied discrete–circuit am lifier
configurations. – The next domain is integrated–circuit amplifiers.
• There is a difference in IC design philosophy.
– Circuits combine MOS and bipolar transistors in a
– Chip-area considerations dictate that while resistors are
to be avoided, constant current sources are readily
available.

4Integrated Circuit Design Philosophy
• Large capacitors are components external to the IC chip but should
be used cautiously to keep number of chip terminals small to avoid
high cost.
• As of 2003, CMOS process technologies are capable of producingdevices with a 0.1 µm channel length. Advantages?
– These re uire overdrive volta es of onl 0.2 volts or so.
– However, bipolar circuits can still provide much higher output currents.
– Due to reliability under severe environmental conditions, the bipolar circuits are referred for a lications in the automotive industr .
• CMOS is the most popular technology for the implementation of
digital systems due to :
•
• Ease of fabrication and
• Low power dissipation

5Typical Values of BJT/MOSFET Parameters
• To pack more transistors on a chip, the trend is to reduce the
minimum allowable channel length.
• Magnitude of threshold voltage V has been decreasing with
decreasing length. Additionally VDD has been reduced from 5 voltsto 1.8 volts for newer technologies to keep power dissipation as low
as ossible.
• With submicron technologies, channel length modulation effect is
very pronounced. As a result V’A has been steadily decreasing= ’
short-channel MOSFETs exhibit low output resistance.
– Because r 0 = VA /ID
• gs gd. – Shorter devices exhibit much higher operating speeds and wider
amplifier bandwidths.

integrated circuit fabrication process has been the lack of
pnp transistors of a quality equal to that of npn devices.
• β is lower for pnp transistors
– And pnp transistors have much larger forward transit time τF . – F -

• Consider the following circuit:

vOβ = 100
RB 100 k
RL 5 k

• It has the advantage that the emitter
current is independent of β and RB.
• Thus RB can be made large, enabling

_an increase in the input resistance at
the base without adversely affecting
bias stability.

• Another small capacitance that should be added to Cgs and Cgd is the capacitance that results from the
fact that the source and drain diffusions extend slightly under the gate oxide.

35The CE Amplifier With Emitter Degeneration Resistance
• Emitter degeneration is more useful in CE amplifier than source degeneration in the CS
amplifier.
– Because emitter degeneration increases the input resistance of the CE amplifier.
– Incidentally the input resistance of CS is practically infinite to begin with.
• The circuit:

36The CE Amplifier With Emitter Degeneration Resistance…contd
• So vo = (V i – ir e ) – r o {i - (V i – ir e )/ R e} and vo = [ i - (V i – ir e ) /R e – α i ]RL
• And solving these two equations simultaneously gives us R in = V i /[i/( β + 1)]

• Hence inclusion of Re :
– Reduces effective transconductance by a factor (1 + gm RL)
– Increases its output resistance by the same factor
– .
– Increases amplifier bandwidth and finally the emitter
degeneration resistance Re increases the linearity of the
amplifier.

small-area MOS transistors.
• For minimization of chip area, large-valued resistors and capacitors are
virtuall absent.
• Biasing in integrated circuits utilizes current sources.
– An accurate and stable reference current is generated and then replicated to provide
bias currents for various amplifier stages.
– The heart of the current-steering circuitry utilized to perform this function is the
current-mirror.
• The high-frequency response of IC amplifiers is limited by the transistor n erna capac ances, ma n y gs an gd n e an Π an μ n e

• IC amplifiers employ constant-current sources in place of the resistances
D C .
– These active loads enable the realization of reasonably large voltage gains while using
low voltages supplies (as low as 1 V)

– for a BJT, it is 2000 to 4000 V/V.
– for a MOSFET, it is 20 to 100 V/V.

• CS amplifier has an infinite input resistance
