Question:

A BiCMOS Darlington is shown in Fig. 3.76. The bias voltage VBis adjusted for a dc output voltage of 2 V. Calculate the bias currents in both devices and then calculate the small-signal voltage gain Ï…o/Ï…iof the circuit. For the MOS transistor, assume W = 10µm, L=1µm, μnCox= 200 µA / V2, Vt= 0.6 V, γ = 0.25 V1/2, Ï•f= 0.3 V, and λ = 0. For the bipolar transistor, assume IS= 10ˆ’16A, β= 100, rb= 0, and VA†’ˆž. Use SPICE to check your result. Then add λ = 0.05 Vˆ’1, rb= 100, and VA = 20 V and compare the original result to the result with this new transistor data. Finally, use SPICE to compute the dc transfer characteristic of the circuit.
