Newbie level 4
Mostly a continuation from my problems from yesterday. I've tried without much success and need some further help with analogue theory/hand calculations.
Circuit in question is the CMOS inverter hooked up to work as an amplifier.
**broken link removed**
Here is the small signal simulation:
**broken link removed**
The max gain comes out as 152 from simulation. (1.52 on the graph / 0.01V AC)
I did a standard calculation of Id through the PMOS from:
Id = beta(vgs-Vt)^2 = 2.744e-6
gm = 2 x sqrt(beta*Id) = 1.6632e-5
go = lambda*Id = 5.488e-8
A (for the pmos) = GmRo = 303.
This is about double the actual gain. How does the nmos and pmos mathematically come to the correct theoretical gain? This *Should* be simple, I'm just not very good at this.
Secondly, how is phase -frequency response calculated theoretically. This I have even less of a clue about. And I can't think why on the graph the phase changes from -180 to +180 in the middle of the bandwidth. Full explanations in a user listen friendly format would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
