The exam is 110 minutes. You will have an additional 15 minutes to print (if available), scan, and upload. If you submit after the allotted time, your exam will be considered late and may incur a late penalty. After you complete your exam, scan your solutions into one .pdf file. Please upload your completed exam file by clicking on the “Add File” button underneath Question 1’s blank answer field. Download Exam File: Midterm 2 Open book exam to the extent of hard copies of lecture notes, your personal notes, homework sets and solutions and the (optional) textbooks only. Laptop computers are NOT permitted, but calculators are. Show all work; partial credit given if you can show you have a valid approach! If your exam utilizes Gradescope’s Student App, Do NOT upload to Gradescope. You will only upload your scanned exam file to this D2L quiz.

Problem 1. (25 pts) Topic: Amplifier. Assume all transistors in saturation. Consider gm and ro. Ignore gmb. a. Derive equation for Voltage Gain as a function of frequency () (10 points) b. Analyze circuit behavior (15 points) Gain at very low frequencies Gain at high frequencies Plot Gain vs. Frequency and identify the levels on Y axis and inflection points on X axis Redraw the same plot of Gain vs. Frequency if C1 is 0. Problem 2. (20 pts) Noise (assume only thermal and flicker noise) a. Derive the Gain, Output and Input referred noise for the above amplifier (assume correct biasing). (10 points) b. Derive the Gain, Output and Input referred noise for the above amplifier (assume correct biasing). Show equations in terms of . (10 points) Problem 3. (35 pts) Consider the following circuit, assume that correct biasing is done, neglect body effect. M1 has transconductance gm1 and output resistance ro1 and similar for M2. a) Identify the Feedback. (5 points) b) Consider the forward path amplifier, what is the open loop gain? (5 points) c) What is the feedback factor? (5 points) d) Derive open loop input impedance Rinopenloop. (5 points) e) Derive closed loop input impedance Rinclosedloop. (10 points) f) Does the output impedance increase or decrease with feedback? (5 points) Problem 4. (20 pts) Consider the following circuit, assume ideal MOS switches, neglect body effect. Assume V1, V2 and Vo has 0 voltage at the start. a) Draw V1, V2 and Vo as function of time. (10 points) b) What is the value at Vo after 3rd cycle of clock? (5 points) c) What function or functions does the circuit achieve? (5 points) Congratulations, you are almost done with this exam.
