JW – 5, 11, 17, 23 (Check 6, 12, 18)

 

HW#6 – Monday, Nov. 9, redo problems from book Ch. 28 to replace online solutions (email me a separate PDF for each solution with a name like P28.1, P28.2, etc.) –

Please put your name on your solution but do not put the class number, date, etc. (useless information for someone using the solution).

Your solutions should be computer generated (not hand sketched like they currently are).

Your solutions should be excellent and helpful for somebody doing self-study since you already have a solution. However, the solution shouldn’t be too long.

LB – 1, 7, 13 (Check 3 and 9)

SB – 2, 8 (Check 4 and 10)

CG – 3, 9 (Check 5 and 11)

QH – 4, 10 (Check 6 and 12)

AJ – 5, 11 (Check 7 and 13)

JW – 6, 12 (Check 1, 2, and 8)

 

Midterm – Monday, Oct. 26, open book and closed notes covering chapters 8, 25, and 26

HW#5 – due Monday, Oct. 19, A26.6-A26.10

HW#4 – due Monday, Oct. 12, A26.1-A26.5

HW#3 – due Wednesday, September 23, A8.10-A8.14, A20.31

HW#2 – due Monday, September 14, A8.5-A8.8

HW#1 – due Monday, August 31, A8.1-A8.4

 

Project 2 – due Dec. 7

LB – make the Cadence files for Ch. 30

QH – make the Electric file for Ch. 30

The following solutions are counting for the second project so they should be excellent, not too long but very clear and informative.

CG – make up solutions for Ch. 30 problems: 1, 5, 12, 13, 20, 21, and 25

SB – make up solutions for Ch. 30 problems: 2, 6, 11, 14, 19, and 22

JW – make up solutions for Ch. 30 problems: 3, 7, 10, 15, 18, and 23

AJ – make up solutions for Ch. 30 problems: 4, 8, 9, 16, 17, and 24

 

Project 1 – due Oct. 5. Using the 50 nm CMOS process from the book with a VDD of 1 V design the lowest-noise op-amp possible with the following specifications:

·         DC open-loop gain greater than 80 dB when driving a 1k resistor

·         Unity-gain frequency greater than 100 MHz when unloaded or driving a 1k resistor, 10 pF capacitor, or the parallel combination of a 1k and 10 pF

·         CMRR > 60 dB from DC to 1 MHz

·         Input CMR from 400 mV to 800 mV

·         Output swing when driving 1k from 100 to 900 mV

·         Systematic offset < 10 mV

·         Power dissipation < 1 mW when the op-amp is in the follower configuration driving a 1k load with an input voltage of 500 mV.

Please submit this project to me via email. Attach your LTspice simulation directory zipped-up and your report, less than 20 pages, in PDF format. Your report should discuss your design (the topology, design considerations, trade-offs, etc.) and thoroughly characterize the performance of the op-amp (noise, gain, VOS, CMRR, PSRR, THD, etc.) In your report’s summary comment on the performance of your design compared to the LT1364 bipolar high-speed op-amp discussed in Ch. 8.
