Feedback OTA [20 pts]
Shown below is an equivalent ac model of an OTA in a feedback loop. Assume that all devices operate in saturation. Neglect chnnel length modulation and capacitances other than the ones explicitly shown. The triangular "-1" gain element has infinite input impedance and zero output impedance. Use gm=2mS,R=5k, and C1=5 pF .
a) Write an expression for the loop gain, T(s), in terms of gm,R,C1, and CL.
b) In this circuit, a good phase margin (PM) is possible for either very small or large values of CL. First, consider the case of a very small CL. Calculate the loop crossover frequency fC1 and the corresponding value of CL for a PM of 70. Make reasonable approximations to simplify your algebra.
c) Consider now the case for large CL. Calculate the crossover frequency fc2 and the corresponding value of CL for a PM of 70.
d) Sketch each case's bode plot (magnitude and phase) of the loop gain on one diagram. Label pertinent breakpoints.
e) Now assume C1=CL. Determine the phase margin of the circuit. To improve your phase margin, you can add a compensation capacitor. For this purpose, where would be the best place to add the capacitor (drain of Drain of M2/ across gate and drain of M1/across gate and drain of M2)? Briefly explain how it would help your phase margin.
