Diode-connected tansisto A MOS tansisto behaes as a sall sal esisto when ate and da ae shoted. A tansisto this confiuation is efeed to as diode-connected tansisto. The deice is always satuation. To calculate the ipedance of this deice we use the sall-sal equialent cicuit and a test oltae eneato ( ed). The atio between the oltae x applied and the cuent i x ies the ipedance.

This will liit the axiu output oltae, sce V GS will be quite hihe than V T.
CSS with Cuent Souce load To cease the a, we can use the output esistance of a tansisto. T poides the DC cuent bias to T, and has a hih output ipedance. The bias cuent is deteed by V b.

With a cuent of just 00 µa and the sae put tansisto diensions as the case of the CSS with load esisto, we hae a a of 373. N.B. The output cuent is salle than what it should be. The bias pot is so citical that the siulato has soe pobles
CSS with Tiode load This cicuit is the sae as the CSS with Cuent Souce load, but the ate bias of tansisto T is low enouh to ake sue that T woks the lea eion and theefoe it behaes as a esisto. V b T Sall sal a G µ P C ox W L ( V V V ) DD b TP V T V out To hae T the lea eion, we ust hae V b < V out V TP (whee V TP is a positie nube). If we can not take V b < 0 V, we can take it 0 V. In this case we ust hae V out > V TP. The pcipal dawback of this cicuit is that the sall-sal a depends on any paaetes.
CSS with Souce Deeneation V D V out S In soe applications, the squae-law dependence of the da cuent upon the ate oedie oltae toduces excessie non leaity. S soothes this effect sce it takes a potion of the ate oedie oltae. At the liit, fo S >> /, the sall sal a does not depend on (and theefoe on I DS ) anyoe. It is teest to note that the appoxiated sall sal a (which can be easily calculated with the sall sal equialent cicuit) can also be calculated as if S and / wee two esistos seies. Sall sal a (appoxiation) G D S S D
CSS with Souce Deeneation The appoxiated sall sal oltae a can also be seen as the poduct of the sall sal equialent tansconductance of the deeneated CS Stae ultiplied by the total esistance seen at the output ( D ). To calculate the exact sall sal oltae a we need the exact sall sal equialent tansconductance and the output esistance of the deeneated CS Stae. Both these quantities can be calculated with the equialent sall sal cicuits. D Sall sal a (appoxiation) G S D _ eq D V out V S Exact sall sal equialent tansconductance (with channel lenth odulation and bulk effect) _ eq S 0 0 ( b ) S 0 DO IT YOUSELF AS AN EXECISE!

Souce Followe (SF) The analysis of the Coon Souce Stae (CSS) with cuent souce load deonstated that to hae a hih oltae a we hae to hae a hih load ipedance. If we want to use a CSS to die a low ipedance load, we hae to put a buffe between the CSS and the load. The siplest buffe is the Souce Followe (also called Coon Da Stae). V How do we obta the sall sal a? We could use the sall sal equialent cicuit o we can be clee and euse what we hae seen up to now! V out G V V out S // b / 0 S G b 0 S S ( b ) S The a of ou buffe is nee one! It is, the best case, /n
Souce Followe (SF) The Souce Followe with a esisto is hihly non lea, sce the da cuent T is a ston function of the put DC leel. We can theefoe eplace the esisto with a cuent souce. G // SF _ NMOS V 0 DD b / 0 b / 0 / 0 V V b T T V out The a is this case close to /n (still not ). The cicuit is still non lea due to the body effect (non lea dependence of V T upon the souce potential). This can be soled us a PMOS Souce Followe, which both the tansistos hae the body (well) connected to the souce. In this case, we hae: SF _ PMOS G 0 // / 0 / The a can be this case ey close to one! 0 / 0
Souce Followe dawbacks G L // 0 // / 0 / 0 / 0 / L G / L L L / V b T V T L V out If the souce followe has to die a low ipedance, we isk to hae a a which is sificantly salle than one. Anothe ipotant dawback is that souce followes shift the sal by one V GS. This is a dawbacks especially low oltae cicuit, whee this causes a liitation the oltae headoo. On the othe hand, if the powe supply oltae is hih enouh, souce followes can be used as oltae leel shiftes.
Coon-Gate Stae (CGS) In Coon-Souce Staes and Souce Followes the put sal is applied to the ate. We can also apply it to the souce, obta what is called a Coon-Gate Stae (CGS) out out _ CGS // D out _ CGS 0 D D b /0 0 D 0 ( b ) 0 EXECISE! V b V V out G G D out _ D 0 D ( // ) ( / ) 0 0 D ( ) D b 0 b 0 n D The put ipedance of a CGS is elatiely low, but this only if the load ipedance low. The a is slihtly hihe to the one of a CSS, sce we apply the sal to the souce. N.B. We hae calculated the sall sal a us diffeent ethods (ed and blue). The esults ae identical!
Coon-Gate Stae (CGS) With the esults obtaed, it is now ey easy to study the ost eneal case, which cludes the ipedance S of the sal souce, the channel odulation effect and the bulk effect. Let s call the esistance seen by the ideal oltae souce. D 0 S D out ( b ) 0 D out D ( b ) 0 G D S [ ( b ) 0 ] D 0 V out V b S This esult is ey siila to the one of a Coon Souce Stae with souce deeneation. The a hee is still slihtly hihe due to the body effect. It is now also easy to calculate the esistance seen to the output. // out D out _ CSS _ de V out _ CSS _ de 0 S ( b ) 0 S

The disadantae of the cascode confiuation is that the iu output oltae is now the su of the satuation oltaes of T and T. It ust theefoe be used with cae low oltae cicuits.
CascS with cuent souce load To fully pofit of the hih output ipedance of the cascode stae, it sees natual to load it with a hih ipedance load, like a cuent souce. out _ CascS 0 0 ( b ) 0 0 V b V b V T out out _ CascS 03 T 3 T V out G out // If 03 is not hih enouh, we can use the cascode pciple to boost the output ipedance of the cuent souce as well. N.B. eebe that the DC output leel hee is not well defed, and that we will need a feedback loop.

Diffeential Pai Actie CM Cuent ios can also pocess a sal, and they can theefoe be used as actie eleents. A diffeential pai with an actie cuent io is also called a diffeential pai with actie load.

Diffeential Pai Actie CM Let s now calculate the sall-sal behaio, nelect the bulk effect fo siplicity. The cicuit is NOT syetic, and theefoe we can not use the halfcicuit pciple hee. As a fist appoxiation, we can conside the coon souces of the put tansistos as a itual ound.

Diffeential Pai Actie CM In eality, the cuent souce is not ideal, and this has an effect on the a we hae just calculated. This effect is eneal neliible. What is not neliible is the effect of 05 on the coon ode a. Fo a coon ode put sal the cicuit can be seen syetic! It can be shown that een fo a pefectly syetic cicuit (no isatch) a CM sal at the put (,CM ) eneates an unwanted sal at the output ( out ).
