Biasing in MOSFET Amplifiers
• Biasing: Creating the circuit to establish the desired
DC voltages and currents for the operation of the
amplifier
• Four common ways:
1. Biasing by fixing VGS
2. Biasing by fixing VG and connecting a resistance in the
Source
3. Biasing using a Drain-to-Gate Feedback Resistor
4. Biasing Using a Constant-Current Source

Biasing in MOSFET Amplifiers
• Biasing by fixing VGS
When the MOSFET device is
changed (even using the same
supplier), this method can result in
a large variability in the value of
ID. Devices 1 and 2 represent
extremes among units of the same
type.

Current Mirror DC Analysis
• The width and length (the W/L aspect
ratio) and the parameters of the two
transistors can be different
• We can choose W/L freely
• In this circuit, consider W/L of both
MOSFETs are the same and transistors
are identical. The Gate-Source voltages
are also the same, then

MOSFET Design Space
• Modern integrated circuits use MOSFETs
extensively
– Very high densities of transistors – up to 109
transistors/cm2 in some ULSI memory arrays.
– Off-chip discrete resistors and capacitors are NOT
commonly used
– On-chip resistors and capacitors generally small
– Multistage amplifiers are usually DC-coupled
• Transistors used wherever possible to implement
current sources, resistors, capacitors,

Using MOSFETs to implement R’s and C’s
• Resistors:
Active Loads (large R’s)
Diode-connected loads (small R’s)
MOSFET Triode-Region (moderate R’s)
• Capacitors
Most obvious is the gate-body capacitor
Can be used to have variable-capacitors as well
• Current Mirrors

Computer Engineering

MOSFET Active Loads
• MOSFETs used as an active load for high resistances:
– MOSFET is held in saturation with the source and gate
held at a constant DC voltage
– Drain connected to circuit

Diode-Connected MOSFETs
• A Diode connected MOSFET can be used to achieve
small resistances:
– The Drain is directly connected to Gate, and therefore it
can only be operated in saturation (or cutoff)

MOSFET Current Mirrors
• Used extensively in
MOSFET IC applications
• Often ro,is neglected. Since
there is no gate current, the
drain currents of M1 and M2
are identical
• In practice, IREF ≠ I due to
finite ro. (Not included in EC1)

be designed almost freely
• Since the W/L of M1 and M2
need not be the same, the size
ratios can affect current ratios

Common Gate Amplifier (CGA)
• A pMOS current mirror is used
as IREF including the output
resistance.
• Since source terminal not at
signal ground, the body effect is
present.
• The gate terminal held at a DC
voltage. (AC Ground)
Typically used as second stage of a
multi-stage amplifier circuit
26. Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering
ECSE-330B Electronic Circuits I

CGA – DC Analysis
• Current mirror is assumed to be ideal
during the DC analysis, thus IREF=I
• DC voltage at the source terminal (VS)
must be obtained from driving the
current IREF through the transistor.
• This assumes that the input voltage
source VI is set to zero
• RI is part of the source voltage
• Solve for VO, with VS and VG known,
and including CLM
