4. Design the
he cascade amplifier shown at the right to obtain
gm1=1mA/V and Ro=400kΩ. Use a 0.18 0.18µm technology for which
Vtn=0.5 V, VA’=5V/µm and k’n=400µ µA/V2. Determine L, W/L, VG2,
and I. Use identical transistors operated at Vov=0.2V, and design
for the maximum possible negative signal swing at the
output(when VDS=Vov). Whatt is the value of the minimum
permitted output voltage?

5. For the four possible realizations of the folded cascade amplifier shown below, assume that the BJTs
have β=100 and that both the BJTs and the MOSFets have |VA|=5V. Let I=100µA, and assume that the
MOSFets are operating at |VOV|=0.2V. Assume ideal current sources. For each circuit determine Rin,
Rout, and Avo=vo/vI. Comment on your results.

8. Consider a bipolar cascode amplifier biased at a current of 1mA. The transistors used have β=100,
ro=100kΩ, Cπ=14pF, Cµ=2pF, CCS=0pF. The amplifier is fed with a signal source having Rsig=4kΩ. The
load resistance RL=2.4kΩ. Find the low frequency gain AM, and estimate the value of the 3dB frequency

9. A BJT cascade amplifier uses transistors for which β=100, VA=100V, fT=1GHz, and Cµ=0.1pF. It
operates at a bias current of 0.1mA between a source with Rsig=rπ and a load RL=βro. Let CL=CCS=0pF
and find the overall voltage gain at dc, fH and ft.
