Answer to Problem 10.68P

  IREF=177.14μA

  I1=35.43μA

  I2=221.42μA

  I3=141.71μA

  I4=708.56μA

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  VTN=0.8VVTP=0.8VK'n=100μA/V2K'P=60μA/V2λn=λp=0R=100kΩ

Calculation:

The given circuit is,

  Microelectronics: Circuit Analysis and Design, Chapter 10, Problem 10.68P

According to the circuit reference current IREF will be,

  IREF=(K'n2)(11)(VGSNVTN)2(1)

And

  IREF=(K'p2)(11)(VSGP+VTP)2(2)

Now substitute the given values in equation (1) and equation (2),

   I REF =( K ' n 2 )( 1 1 ) ( V GSN V TN ) 2 I REF =( 100μ 2 )( 1 1 ) ( V GSN 0.8) 2 ( 3 )

   I REF =( K ' p 2 )( 1 1 ) ( V SGP + V TP ) 2 I REF =( 60μ 2 )( 1 1 ) ( V SGP 0.8) 2 ( 4 )

On comparing equation (3) and equation (4),

   ( 100μ 2 )( 1 1 ) ( V GSN 0.8) 2 =( 60μ 2 )( 1 1 ) ( V SGP 0.8) 2 50 ( V GSN 0.8) 2 =30 ( V SGP 0.8) 2 50(VGSN0.8)=30(VSGP0.8)7.071(VGSN0.8)=5.477(VSGP0.8)7.0715.477(VGSN0.8)=(VSGP0.8)VSGP=7.0715.477(VGSN0.8)+0.8(5)

Now reference current expression is,

  IREF=V+VVSGPVGSNR

  IREF=12(12)VSGPVGSN100kΩ(6)

Now compare equation (3) and equation (6)

  IREF=(100μ2)(11)(VGSN0.8)2=IREF=12(12)VSGPVGSN100kΩ

   ( 100μ 2 )( 1 1 ) ( V GSN 0.8) 2 = 12(12) V SGP V GSN 100kΩ ( 100μ 2 )( 1 1 ) ( V GSN 0.8) 2 ×100× 10 3 =24 7.071 5.477 ( V GSN 0.8) V GSN 5 ( V GSN 0.8) 2 =23.21.291( V GSN 0.8) V GSN 5 ( V GSN 0.8) 2 =23.21.291 V GSN +1.032) V GSN

   5 ( V GSN 0.8) 2 =24.2322.291 V GSN ( V GSN 0.8) 2 = 24.2322.291 V GSN 5 V GSN 2 +0.641.6 V GSN =4.8460.458 V GSN V GSN 2 1.142 V GSN 4.206=0

Solve the above expression by quadratic degree method,

  VGSN=2.845VVGSN=1.7V

Consider VGSN=2.845V and substitute in equation (5)

  VSGP=7.0715.477(VGSN0.8)+0.8

  VSGP=7.0715.477(2.8450.8)+0.8VSGP=1.291×2.045+0.8VSGP=3.4401V

Calculate reference current,

  IREF=12(12)VSGPVGSN100kΩ

  IREF=243.44012.845100×103

  IREF=177.14μA

Now calculate current I1,I2,I3andI4

  I1=(WL)1IREF

  I1=(0.21)×177.14μA

  I1=35.43μA

  I2=(WL)2IREF

  I2=1.251×177.14μA

  I2=221.42μA

  I3=(WL)3IREFI3=0.81×177.14μA

  I3=141.71μA

  I4=(WL)4IREFI4=41×177.14μA

  I4=708.56μA

Conclusion:

  IREF=177.14μA

  I1=35.43μA

  I2=221.42μA

  I3=141.71μA

  I4=708.56μA
