Question: Design a two - stage differential input - output amplifier using CMOSP 0 . 1 8 technology to meet the following specifications. Differential pair tail

Design a two-stage differential input-output amplifier using CMOSP 0.18 technology to meet the
following specifications.
Differential pair tail current =540uA
Total gain >300
Total Power 5 mW
Maximum output swing (the output voltage must be 0.9 V when no input signal is applied)
Power supply =1.8V
a) Perform simulations to determine the characteristic curves for the provided NMOS and
CMOS transistors. Determine the transistors' output resistance for varying drain currents
and aspect ratios
b) Perform an analytical analysis to estimate the operating point of the transistors and estimate
the gain of each stage.
c) Perform a DC simulation to determine the gain of each stage.
d) Perform AC simulation to find the -3 dB bandwidth of the amplifier
e) Apply a differential sinusoidal input with a frequency of 1 kHz and an amplitude of 1 mV
to the inputs. Perform transient analysis to calculate the gain.
f) Justify your design decisions and compare your simulation results with the estimated
values from hand calculations.
g) Include a screenshot of the circuit in your report, highlighting the operating points of the
transistors and the voltage values at the relevant nodes.
Important Note: You are not allowed to use resistors or capacitors in your design. You may use
one supply voltage (vdc from analogLib) and one reference current (idc from analogLib).
