2 Linear amplifier performance metrics: The characteristics of linear amplifiers that we use to compare different amplifier designs, and to judge their performance and suitability for a given application are given below: i in i out Linear Amplifier Rest of circuit Voltage gain, A v = / Current gain, A i = i out /i in Power gain, A power = P out /P in = i out / i in = A v A i Input resistance, r in = /i in i test Linear Amplifier v test Output resistance, r out = v test /i test with = 0 DC Power dissipation, P DC = (V V )(S 's) Clif Fonstad, 11/03 Lecture 18 Slide 2

5 Examples of current mirror biased BJT circuits: V V V R REF Q 1 I C R REF Q 1 I C V Above: Concept Right: Implementations Q 2 Q 3 V BJT Mirror I C (A Q3 /A Q2 ) I REF Q 2 Q 3 V MOSFET Mirror I C (K Q3 /K Q2 ) I REF Clif Fonstad, 11/03 Lecture 18 Slide 5

6 Looking at a complicated circuit: Lesson I Find the biasing circuitry and represent it symbolically Consider the following example: 1.5 V Q 1 A Q 2 Q 3 Q 4 Q 5 Q 8 Q 10 Q 11 A Q 23 Q 9 5 R 1 B v IN1 B Q 7 Q 6 Q 19 v IN2 B R 2 R 3 Q 12 Q 13 Q 14 Q 15 Q 20 B Q B 21 Q B 22 Q 24 Q 16 Q 17 v OUT Q Circuitry providing the V REF 's 1.5 V 8 of the 24 transistors are "only" used for biasing the other 16 transistors! If we get them out of the picture for awhile, the circuit looks simpler: Clif Fonstad, 11/03 Lecture 18 Slide 6

7 Looking at a complicated circuit: Lesson I, cont. segregating out the biasing circuitry Indicating the current sources symbolically lets you focus on the action: 1.5 V Q 2 Q 3 Q 4 Q 5 Q 8 Q 10 Q 11 5 Q 9 v IN1 Q 6 Q 7 R 2 R 3 Q 12 Q 13 v IN2 Q 14 Q 15 Q 16 Q 17 v OUT V 16 transistors left. In Lessons II and III we reduce the number to 5! Stay tuned Clif Fonstad, 11/03 Lecture 18 Slide 7

10 Singletransistor amplifiers with feedback V V R F R F V Series feedback also termed "emitter degeneration" R F Shunt feedback Clif Fonstad, 11/03 Lecture 18 Slide 10 R F V

11 The "midband"concept: frequency range of constant gain and phase V V v t Common emitter example: The linear equivalent circuit for the common emitter amplifier stage on the left is drawn below with all of the elements included: r t g p gm v p g o v p C p C m g LOAD gnext r IBIAS The capacitors are one of two types: Biasing capacitors: typically very large (in µf range) (,, etc.) effectively shorts above some w LO Device capacitors: typically very small (in pf range) (C p, C m, etc.) effectively open until some w HI Clif Fonstad, 11/03 Lecture 18 Slide 11

12 The "midband"concept, cont.: At frequencies above some value ( w LO ) The biasing capacitors look like shorts: v t r t g p gm v p g o v p C p C m g LOAD gnext r IBIAS At frequencies below some other value ( w HI ) The parasitic capacitors look like open circuits: v t r t g p gm v p g o v p C p C m g LOAD gnext r IBIAS Clif Fonstad, 11/03 Lecture 18 Slide 12

13 The "midband"concept, cont.: If w LO < w HI, then there is a range where all of the capacitors are either short circuits (the biasing capacitors) or open circuits (the parasitics). v t r t g p gm v p g o v p C p C m g LOAD gnext r IBIAS We call the frequency range between w LO and w HI the "midband" range; for frequencies in this range our model is simply: r t g p v t v p g m v p g o Valid for w LO < w< w HI, i.e. in the "midband" range. [where all bias capacitors are shorts and all parasitic capacitors are open] g l (= g LOAD g next ) Clif Fonstad, 11/03 Lecture 18 Slide 13

20 6.012 Electronic Devices and Circuits Lecture 18 Single Transistor Amplifier Stages Summary Midband analysis Biasing capacitors: typically in mf range should/can be avoided completely in modern IC design (w LO = 0) Device capacitors: typically in pf range; goal is to make as small as possible Midband: no capacitors in incremental analysis; gain and phase constant want as wide as possible (we won't find w LO and w HI until Lec. 22) Buildingblock stages Common emitter/source: good voltage and current gain large R in and R out good gain stage Common base/gate: very small R in ; very large R out unity current gain; good voltage gain will find paired with other stages to form "cascode" Emitter/source follower: very small R out ; very large R in unity voltage gain; good current gain an excellent output stage or buffer Series feedback: moderate voltage gain dependant on ratio of resistors Shunt feedback: used in transimpedance amplifiers Clif Fonstad, 11/03 Lecture 18 Slide 20
