Oerew Rean S&S: hapter 5.0, 6.~, 6.6 ackroun Han seen soe of the basc aplfer crcuts we can bul wth MOSFs, conclue ateral n hapter 5 of S&S by lookn at the hhfrequency oel for MOSFs. We wll use ths hh-frequency oel when analyzn the hh-frequency operaton of MOSFs n aplfer crcuts. he perforance of aplfer crcuts can be proe by usn a fferental par topoloy. Dfferental par aplfers hae two nputs poste an neate ternals. he fferental par aplfer s what we assue for the eal aplfer when we learne about op ap crcuts. We wll now nestate how to bul these aplfers. he rean n Sectons 6.~ proes portant an necessary backroun nforaton for fferental aplfers. hen, we wll skp to 6.6 whch nestates buln fferental aplfer wth MOSFs.

MOSF nternal apactances Fro our stuy of the physcal operaton of MOSFs, we can see that there are nternal capactances Gate capactance fro ate oxe (parallel plate an frnn capactors) s,, b Juncton capactances fro source-boy an ran-boy epleton layer capactances (reerse base PN junctons) sb, b s,, b b We S54 - Lecture 4 3
