CMOS Common Source Amplifier Based on input voltage vI, vo follows the voltage transfer characteristics curve Region III is the high gain region: Q1 and Q2 are in saturation VIA < vI <VIB VOB < vo <VOA 1
Q2 saturation I-V (Q2) i (2) v=|Vov2| (1) v=0 v Q2 saturation i Function of v, Function of vo v = VDD vo Q2 sat: vo < VDD-|VOV2| (1) vo=VDD (2) vo=VDD-|Vov2| vo 2 EECE 311 - Introduction
