CAD 1b: Amplifier analysis
In exercise CAD 1, four different amplifiers are simulated in a generic 45-nm CMOS process by using Virtuoso and Eldo. Exercises CAD 1a-c introduce the student to schematic drawing and performing a basic AC simulation. In exercise CAD 1d, a more extensive set of different simulations is performed for a more complicated amplifier. The simulation command files created during exercise CAD 1d will be utilized in exercise CAD 2.
Exercises CAD 1a-d are graded pass/fail (yes/no, respectively). The submission deadline for CAD 1a-d is 07.2.2022 at 10 am. However, it is strongly recommended that students make their first submissions well in advance to receive feedback and revise their submissions.
Round your answers to 4 significant digits. Use unit prefixes (mV, MHz...) instead of the scientific notation (x 10-3 V, x 106 Hz...). The submission type is text or pdf!
The amplifier of this exercise has a gain of approximately -1.5 dB.
