(a) For the common-emitter amplifier in Problem 7.1, use zero-value time constants to estimate the dominant pole and short-circuit time constants to estimate the nondominant pole.

(b) Compare your estimates with a SPICE simulation.

Data from Prob. 7.1:

A MOS differential amplifier is shown in Fig. 7.9. For this circuit, carry out the calculations in Problem 7.6. Use I_SS = 1 mA, the values of R_T = 300 kΩ and C_T = 2 pF as defined in Fig. 7.11b, and the transistor data in Problem 7.2.
