Common-Drain Amplifier * Also called a “source follower” for reasons that will become clear shortly For DC bias, neglect small signal source (and its resistance) and the small-signal load resistance; iSUP = ISUP Note that V = V – V OUT BIAS GS The DC gate-source voltage is: EE 105 Spring 2000 Page 1 Week 11, Lecture 24 DC Transfer Curve p-well CMOS process means that the source and bulk can be shorted ... not true for an n-well process. The threshold voltage V is not a constant, since the source-bulk voltage V Tn SB increases as V increases: OUT - VTn = VTOn + γn ( VOUT – V ) – 2φp – 2φp EE 105 Spring 2000 Page 2 Week 11, Lecture 24 DC Transfer Curve for Common-Drain Amps V OUT V BIAS Simple idea: slope of transfer curve is the voltage gain ... about 1 The common-drain is a voltage buffer dv OUT A = ≈ 1 v dv BIAS EE 105 Spring 2000 Page 3 Week 11, Lecture 24 Common-Drain Open-Circuit Voltage Gain For finding A exactly, remove the source and its resistance and the load resistance
