Assume missing data if any. Q.1. Attempt any four questions: (5X4=20 Marks) a) Write down the essential properties of ideal OP-AMP and discuss about CMRR? Soln. CMRR : It stands for common mode rejection ratio. Where AOL is differential gain and ACM is common mode gain. b) Explain the closed loop frequency response of OP-AMP. Soln. dc gain is 10 (20 dB) -10 case. c) Find an expression for the output of the instrumentation amplifier. Soln. d) Explain the parameters affecting OP-AMP. Soln. 1) Common-Mode Rejection Ratio: Common-mode rejection ratio, CMRR, is defined as the ratio of the differential voltage amplification to the common-mode voltage amplification, ADIF/ACOM. Ideally this ratio would be infinite with common mode voltages being totally rejected. 2) Supply Voltage Rejection Ratio: Supply voltage rejection ratio, kSVR (power supply rejection ratio, PSRR), is the ratio of power supply voltage change to output voltage change. 3) Slew Rate at Unity Gain Slew rate, SR, is the rate of change in the output voltage caused by a step input. Its units are V/µs or V/ms. 4) Input Common Mode Voltage Range : The input common voltage is defined as the average voltage at the inverting and non inverting input pins. If the common mode voltage gets too high or too low, the inputs will shut down and proper operation ceases. 5) Differential Input Voltage Range Differential input voltage range is normally specified as an absolute maximum. Exceeding the differential input voltage range can lead to breakdown and part failure. e) Calculate the closed loop gain of OP-AMP in inverting configuration. Soln. Q.2.

Soln. b) Draw the high frequency equivalent circuit model for the MOSFET and list all MOSFET internal capacitances. Soln. There are basically two types of internal capacitance in the MOSFET A) Gate capacitance effect: the gate electrode forms a parallel-plate capacitor with gate oxide in the middle B) Junction capacitance effect: the source/body and drain/body are pn-junctions at reverse bias The gate capacitive effect MOSFET in triode region: MOSFET in saturation region: MOSFET in cutoff region: C gs = C gd = Cov C gb WLCox Overlap capacitance: Cov WLov Cox The Junction capacitance Junction capacitance includes components from the bottom side and from the side walls The simplified expression are given by: Sourse-body capacitance, 𝐶 𝐶𝑠𝑏𝑜 𝑠𝑏= 𝑉 √1+ 𝑠𝑏 𝑉𝑜 Where Csbo=value of Csb at zero body source bias Vsb=magnitude of reverse bias voltage Vo=junction built in voltage Drain-body capacitance, 𝐶 𝐶𝑑𝑏𝑜 𝑑𝑏= 𝑉 √1+ 𝑑𝑏 𝑉𝑜 Where Cdbo=value of Cdb at zero body source bias Vdb=magnitude of reverse bias voltage Vo=junction built in voltage c) Discuss all the regions of frequency response of an amplifier with a suitable diagram. Soln. Frequency response of amplifiers: It consists of three different regions as follows: 1) Midband region: It is the frequency range of interest for amplifiers Large capacitors can be treated as short circuit and small capacitors can be treated as open circuit Gain is constant and can be obtained by small-signal analysis Fig. Frequency response of an amplifier with all regions 2) Low-frequency band region: In this region, g ain drops at frequencies lower than f L Large capacitors can no longer be treated as short circuit The gain roll-off is mainly due to coupling and by-pass capacitors 3) High-frequency band region: In this region,g ain drops at frequencies higher than f H Small capacitors can no longer treated as open circuit The gain roll-off is mainly due to parasitic capacitances of the MOSFETs and BJTs. Q.3. Attempt any two: (10*2 = 20Marks) a) Explain BJT as a switch and as an amplifier. Soln. To operate the BJT as a switch, we utilize the cutoff and the saturation modes of operation. To illustrate, consider the common-emitter circuit shown in Fig (1), as the input v in is varied. 1) CUT-OFF REGION ( SWITCH IS OPEN/OFF MODE ) Here the operating conditions of the transistor are zero input base current ( IB ), zero output collector current ( IC ) and maximum collector voltage ( VCE ) which results in a large depletion layer and no current flowing through the device. Therefore the transistor is switched “Fully-OFF”. CUT-OFF characteristics: The input and Base are grounded ( 0v ) Base-Emitter voltage VBE < 0.7v Base-Emitter junction is reverse biased Base-Collector junction is reverse biased Transistor is “fully-OFF” ( Cut-off region ) No Collector current flows ( IC = 0 ) VOUT = VCE = VCC = ”1″ Transistor operates as an “open switch” Fig 1(a) Switch is OPEN Then we can define the “cut-off region” or “OFF mode” when using a bipolar transistor as a switch as being, both junctions reverse biased, VB < 0.7v and IC = 0. For a PNP transistor, the Emitter potential must be negative with respect to the Base. 2) SATURATION REGION ( SWITCH IS CLOSED ) Here the transistor will be biased so that the maximum amount of base current is applied, resulting in maximum collector current resulting in the minimum collector emitter voltage drop which results in the depletion layer being as small as possible and maximum current flowing through the transistor. Therefore the transistor is switched “Fully-ON”. Saturation Characteristics: The input and Base are connected to VCC Base-Emitter voltage VBE > 0.7v Base-Emitter junction is forward biased Base-Collector junction is forward biased Transistor is “fully-ON” ( saturation region ) Max Collector current flows ( IC = Vcc/RL ) VCE = 0 ( ideal saturation ) VOUT = VCE = ”0″ Fig 1(b) Switch is CLOSED Transistor operates as a “closed switch” Then we can define the “saturation region” or “ON mode” when using a bipolar transistor as a switch as being, both junctions forward biased, VB > 0.7v and IC = Maximum. For a PNP transistor, the Emitter potential must be positive with respect to the Base. The Common Emitter Amplifier Circuit In the Common Emitter or grounded emitter configuration, the input signal is applied between the base, while the output is taken from between the collector and the emitter as shown. In this type of configuration, the current flowing out of the transistor must be equal to the currents flowing into the transistor as the emitter current is given as Ie = Ic + Ib.As the load resistance ( RL ) is connected in series with the collector, the current gain of the common emitter transistor configuration is quite large as it is the ratio of Ic/Ib. A transistors current gain is given the Greek symbol of Beta, ( β ).As the emitter current for a common emitter configuration is defined as Ie = Ic + Ib, the ratio of Ic/Ie is called Alpha, given the Greek symbol of α. Note: that the value of Alpha will always be less than unity. As we know that any small change in the base current ( Ib ), will result in a much larger change in the collector current ( Ic ).Then, small changes in current flowing in the base will thus control the current in the emitter-collector circuit. By combining the expressions for both α and β, the mathematical relationship between these parameters and therefore the current gain of the transistor can be given as: Where: “Ic” is the current flowing into the collector terminal, “Ib” is the current flowing into the base terminal and “Ie” is the current flowing out of the emitter terminal. This type of bipolar transistor configuration has a large input impedance, current and power gain than that of the common base configuration but its voltage gain is much lower. The common emitter configuration is an inverting amplifier circuit. This means that the resulting output signal is 180o “out-of-phase” with the input voltage signal. b) Write the steps through which small signal equivalent circuit model can be used in the analysis of transistor amplifier. Analyze the transistor amplifier given in Fig. 1 to determine its voltage gain. Assume β=100. Soln. 1. Determine the dc operating point of the BJT and in particular the dc collector current I C. 2. Calculate the values of the small-signal model parameters: 3. Eliminate the dc sources by replacing each dc voltage source with a short circuit and each dc current source with an open circuit. 4. Replace the BJT with one of its small-signal equivalent circuit models. Although any one of the models can be used, one might be more convenient than the others for the particular circuit being analyzed. 5. Analyze the resulting circuit to determine the required quantities (e.g., voltage gain, input resistance). 1. Determine the quiescent operating point. For this purpose we assume that vi=0. The dc base current will be The dc collector current will be The dc voltage at the collector will be Since VB at +0.7V is less than VC, it follows that in the quiescent condition the transistor will be operating in the active mode. The dc analysis is illustrated in Fig.3 (b). 2. Determine the small-signal model parameters: Fig 3(a) Circuit 3(b) dc analysis 3. The dc supply voltage VCC has been replaced by a short circuit in the signal equivalent circuit because the circuit terminal connected to VCC will always have a constant voltage. That is, the signal voltage at this terminal will be zero. In other words, a circuit terminal connected to a constant dc source can always be considered as a signal ground. 4. To carry out the small-signal analysis it is equally convenient to employ either of the two hybridπ equivalent circuit models as shown in Fig.3(c). 5. Analysis of the equivalent circuit in Fig.3(c) proceeds as follows: The output voltage vo is given by 3(c) small-signal model Thus the voltage gain will be where the minus sign indicates a phase reversal. c) Derive the expression given below for the high frequency hybrid- π model of BJT: 𝒈𝒎 𝒇𝑻 = 𝟐𝝅(𝑪𝝅 + 𝑪𝝁 ) Soln. Derivation of unity-gain bandwidth: Consider the circuit shown in Fig. 4(b), in which the collector is shorted to the emitter. A node equation at C provides the short-circuit collector current Ic as A relationship between Vπ and Ib can be established by multiplying Ib by the impedance seen between B′ and E: Thus hfe can be obtained by Fig.4(a) High frequency hybrid –π model At the frequencies for which this model is valid, Thus we neglect the term numerator and write in the Fig. 4(b) Thus, where 0 is the low-frequency value of . Thus hfe has a single-pole (or STC) response with a 3-dB frequency at ω=ω, where Fig. 4( c) Fig. 4(c) shows a Bode plot for From the –6-dB/octave slope it follows that the frequency at which drops to unity, which is called the unity-gain bandwidth ωT, is given by Thus, Therefore, Q.4. Attempt any two: (10*2 = 20Marks) a) Explain the small signal operation of MOS differential amplifier? Soln. Small-Signal Operation of the MOS Differential Pair: In this section we consider the detailed operation of differential pair as a linear amplifier. Figure , shows the MOS differential amplifier with input voltages. Here, VCM denotes a common-mode dc voltage within the input common mode range of the differential amplifier. It is needed in order to set the dc voltage of the MOSFET gates. Typically VCM is at the middle value of the power supply. Thus, for our case, where two complementary supplies are utilized. VCM is typically 0 V. Differential gain: id) is applied in a complementary (or balanced) manner, that is, vG1 is increased by vid/2 and vG2 is decreased by vid/2. -ended outputs (vo1 and vo2): output taken between one of the drains and ground. od): output taken between the two drains. -signal circuit analysis: -ended gain: b) Discuss the effect of resistance and transconductance mismatch in differential pair? Soln.

Q.5. Attempt any two: (10*2 = 20Marks) a) Draw and explain all basic feedback topologies used for negative feedback amplifier. What happens to input resistance and output resistance in case of voltage series feedback? Soln. THE FOUR BASIC FEEDBACK TOPOLOGIES Based on the quantity to be amplified (voltage or current) and on the desired form of output (voltage or current), amplifiers can be classified into four categories. 1) Voltage Amplifier (series-shunt feedback topology): Voltage amplifiers are intended to amplify an input voltage signal and provide an output voltage signal. The voltage amplifier is essentially a voltage-controlled voltage source. The input impedance is required to be high, and the output impedance is required to be low. A suitable feedback topology for the voltage amplifier is the voltage-mixing voltage-sampling one shown in Fig.(a) . Because of the series connection at the input and the parallel or shunt connection at the output, this feedback topology is also known as series-shunt feedback. 2) Current Amplifier(shunt-series feedback topology):The input signal in a current amplifier is essentially a current, and thus the signal source is most conveniently represented by its Norton equivalent. The output quantity of interest is current; hence the feedback network should sample the output current. The feedback signal should be in current form so that it may be mixed in shunt with the source current. Thus the feedback topology suitable for a current amplifier is the current-mixing current-sampling topology, illustrated in Fig. (b).Because of the parallel (or shunt) connection at the input, and the series connection at the output, this feedback topology is also known as shuntseries feedback. As will be shown, this topology not only stabilizes the current gain but also results in a lower input resistance, and a higher output resistance, both desirable properties for a current amplifier. Fig. The four basic feedback topologies: (a) voltage-mixing voltage-sampling (series–shunt) topology; (b) current-mixing current-sampling (shunt–series) topology; (c) voltage-mixing current-sampling (series–series) topology; (d) current-mixing voltage- sampling (shunt–shunt) topology. 3) Transconductance Amplifier(series- series feedback topology): In transconductance amplifiers the input signal is a voltage and the output signal is a current and the appropriate feedback topology is the voltage-mixing current- sampling topology, illustrated in Fig.(c). The presence of the series connection at both the input and the output gives this feedback topology the alternative name series- series feedback. 4) Transresistance Amplifier(shunt-shunt feedback topology): In transresistance amplifiers, the input signal is current and the output signal is voltage and the appropriate feedback topology is of the current-mixing voltage-sampling type, as shown in Fig.(d), The presence of the parallel (or shunt) connection at both the input and the output makes this feedback topology also known as shunt-shunt feedback. b) Explain the series-shunt feedback amplifier and calculate expressions for gain, input resistance and output resistance. Soln. It consists of a unilateral open-loop amplifier (the A circuit) and an ideal voltage mixing voltagesampling feedback network (the β circuit). The A circuit has an input resistance Ri, a voltage gain A, and an output resistance Ro. It is assumed that the source and load resistances have been included inside the A circuit. Furthermore, note that the circuit does not load the A circuit; that is, connecting the β circuit does not change the value of A (defined as A≡Vo ⁄ Vi).The circuit of Fig. 15(a) exactly follows the ideal feedback model of Fig. 12. Therefore the closed-loop voltage gain Af is given by Fig 15 Note that A and β have reciprocal units. This in fact is always the case, resulting in a dimensionless loop gain A.The equivalent circuit model of the series-shunt feedback amplifier is shown in Fig.15 (b). Here Rif and Rof denote the input and output resistances with feedback. The relationship between Rif and Ri can be established by considering the circuit in Fig. 15(a): Thus, That is, in this case the negative feedback increases the input resistance by a factor equal to the amount of feedback. Since the derivation above does not depend on the method of sampling (shunt or series), it follows that the relationship between Rif and Ri is a function only of the method of mixing. Note, however, that this result is not surprising and is physically intuitive: Since the feedback voltage subtracts from Vs, the voltage that appears across Ri, that is, [ Vi=Vs⁄(1 +A )] becomes quite small. Thus the input current Ii becomes correspondingly small and the resistance seen by Vs, becomes large. To find the output resistance, Rof of the feedback amplifier in Fig. 15(a), we reduce Vo to zero and apply a test voltage Vt at the output, as shown in Fig. 16. From Fig 16 we can write and since Vs= 0, it follows from Fig. 15(a) that Fig. 16 Measuring the output resistance of the feedback amplifier of Fig. 15(a): Rof :Vt/I. That is, the negative feedback in this case reduces the output resistance by a factor equal to the amount of feedback. With a little thought one can see that the derivation of Rof depends only on the method of sampling. Again, this result is not surprising and is physically intuitive: Since the feedback samples the output voltage Vo, it acts to stabilize the value of Vo ,that is, to reduce changes in the value of Vo, including changes that might be brought about by changing the current drawn from the amplifier14 output terminals. This, in effect, means that voltage-sampling feedback reduces the output resistance. c) Explain the working of Wein Bridge Oscillator. Derive an expression for the frequency of Oscillation.
