ELEG3202 Homework 3
Submission Date: 22 March 2021, 2:00pm, via CUHK Blackboard No late submission will be accepted
You are asked to design TWO opamps: a folded cascode opamp and a two-stage Miller-compensated opamp. You need to submit a report for both opamps. In the report, you have to include circuit diagrams (accept hand drawn), netlists, hand calculations (accept hand written), tables to compare simulated and hand calculated results, as well as simulated plots. Details can be referred to HW3_example.doc.
Guidelines:
1. Your circuit should be implemented by transistors using the provided transistor models.
2. For each opamp, you can use two ideal voltage sources for VDD and VSS and one ideal current source to
provide the bias current. 3. ALL transistors must have
NMOS: VGSN VTHN > 50mV and
PMOS:|VSGP|-|VTHP|>50mV.
4. Channel length: L 2m (since the provided CMOS technology has minimum channel length of 2m).
5. Violation of the rules of transistor sizing (even only one transistor in the circuit) will result in zero mark for that
part (i.e. Part I and II) of homework.
6. You have to submit a report for the homework. For the requirement of the report, you can refer to
HW3_template.doc. For more details, you can refer to the provided example HW3_example.pdf.
7. Mark all the simulation results (low-frequency voltage gain, UGF, phase margin, SR and output swing) using the
cursors (refer the provided example HW3_example.pdf).
