1 ECE 6412, Spring 2002 Final Exam Page 1 FINAL EXAMINATION NAME SCORE /120 Problem 1O 2O Score INSTRUCTIONS: This exam is closed book with four sheets of notes permitted. The exam consists of 8, 20point problems of which you are to work only 6 for a total of 120 points. You must attempt problems 1 and 2. All other problems are optional. Please circle the number in the table above of the remaining three problems you wish graded. If you do not indicate the problems to be graded, then problems 1 through 6 will be graded regardless of whether they are worked or not. Be sure to turn in only the 6 problems you wish graded in proper numerical order. Please show your work leading to your answers so that maximum partial credit may be given where appropriate. Problem 1 (20 points This problem is required) If the foldedcascode op amp shown having a smallsignal voltage gain of 7464V/V is used as a comparator, find the dominant pole if C L = 5pF. If the input step is 10mV, determine whether the response is linear or slewing and find the propagation delay time. Assume the parameters of the NMOS transistors are K N =110V/µA 2, V TN = 0.7V, λ N =0.04V 1 and for the PMOS transistors are K P =50V/µA 2, V TP = 0.7V, λ P =0.05V 1.

The amplifier has voltage gain of 10V/V and f 3dB = 100MHz and the latch has a time constant of 10ns. The maximum and minimum voltage swings of the amplifier and latch are V OH and V OL. When should the latch be enabled after the application of a step input to the amplifier of 0.05(V OH V OL ) to get minimum overall propagation time delay? What is the value of the minimum propagation time delay? It may useful to recall that the propagation time delay of the latch is given as t p = τ L ln V OH V OL 2v il where v il is the latch input ( V i of the text). v in = 0.05(V OH V OL ) t=0 v Amplifier oa A v (0)=10V/V f 3dB =100MHz v il Comparator Latch τ L =10ns Enable S02FEP2
