Recitation 20 Amplifiers Review 6.012 Spring 2009 Recitation 20: Amplifiers ReviewYesterday, we introduced two more amplifier circuits: C-drain, C-base.As we know, there is an analogy between MOS & BJT:MOS BJT FunctionCommon Source ←→Common Drain ←→Common GateCommon-EmitterCommon-CollectorCommon-BaseVoltage or GmAmp.Voltage BufferCurrent Buffer←→Note: Buffer is an amplifier with gain 1, but input or output impedance changed We have also learned that there are 4 types of amplifiers, their two port models are Current AmplifierTransconductance AmplifierTransresistanceAmplifierVoltage AmplifierFor the above single stage amplifiers (i.e. CS, CD, CG, CE, CC, CB), as we identify theirparticular function, e.g. current buffer is a type of current amplifier. We can use a two-portmodel for current amplifier to model a CB or CG circuit. Their corresponding Rin,Rout,Aiowill depend on the circuit (or device parameter), which we can derive based on the smallsignal circuit model of the circuit.Yesterday, we looked at the example of CD & CG. Today we will look at CC & CB.1Recitation 20 Amplifiers Review 6.012 Spring 2009 Common-Base Amplifier Cast this into two port model Need to find what is the corresponding Aio,Rin,RoutAio Intrinsic current gain: ignore Rs, just consider iin= is; RLshort. short RLat the output2 Recitation 20 Amplifiers Review 6.012 Spring 2009 iin= −vπγπ+ gmvπ+vπγo ,iout= gmvπ+vπγo=⇒ vπ=⇒ Aio∵1gmgm go,γπ===−iin1vπ+ gm+1γo=iingπ+ gm+ goioutiin= −(gm+ go) ·iingπ+ gm+ goiin1kΩ,γo≈ 100 kΩβFgm=⇒ gπ=gmβFgπ gm= −gm+ gogπ+ gm+ go−1Rin1γπ,γogmas we just discussed∴ transconductance generator gmdominates currents at the input nodevπvoit= −γπ+ gmvπ+γo−gmvπ= gmvt ∴ Rin=vitt=gmvtvtg1mLOW!
