    Chapter 13 Part 2 CMOS Opamp - Sem1 1617

    The document describes two types of CMOS operational amplifiers: the MC14573 and folded cascode op amp. The MC14573 is a two-stage design with a PMOS input differential pair as the first stage and a common-source NMOS transistor as the second. The folded cascode op amp improves on gain by using a cascode configuration where the input signal determines the DC current, then the AC currents from the two halves of the differential pair cancel out and are folded back, increasing the gain. Key advantages are higher gain due to the folded differential pair currents and no loading effects from external circuits.

    The key takeaways are about CMOS operational amplifiers, specifically the MC14573 and folded cascode configurations. It discusses the circuit components and analysis of these op-amps.

    The folded cascode configuration has higher gain compared to a conventional cascode. It also has equal and opposite AC currents in the input transistors which cancels loading effects.

    In a conventional cascode, the input signal determines the current through the first transistor which then becomes the input for the second transistor. In a folded cascode, the input signal determines the DC current while the AC currents in the input transistors are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, cancelling loading effects.

    Advantage of cascode configuration: ↑ gain


     Figure (a): conventional cascode:
    o vi determines ID1 (current through M1)
    o ID1 is the input signal for M2
    o ac current through M1 & M2
     Figure (b): folded cascode:
    o vi determines dc current I1
    o dc current I2 = IQ – I1
    o ac currents in M2 & M1 are equal in magnitude, but of opposite
    direction.
     Current folded back  folded-cascode

     M1 & M2 : differential-pair, M5 & M6: cascode
     M7 – M10 : active load (modified Wilson current mirror)
     VB2 provided by a separate network
     Since M3, M4, M11-M13 are matched, ID3 = ID4 = IREF
    o ID1 = ID2 = ½ IREF
    o ID5 = ID6 = ½ IREF

     From M1 , M6 and
    output
     From M2, M5 and
    mirrored in M8
