Amplifier Gain
Mar 27th, 2013, 12:03am
 
Hi,
i had been following the TSMC OPAMP schematics design tutorial available online. However i have some problems getting the DC response/Gain shown in that tutorial.  I am totally confused about the resulting plot. Can someone explain me a little about DC response gain.

Hello,
what do you mean by DC response, do small signal analysis for dc gain and dynamics(poles and zero). May be you have start with some basics.
Please post schematic.

Very use-full link

Thanks,

thanks raja for your reply. I will check the link.
I have attached the circuit

Update: for better picture

hello,
looks fine from this graph, just find the derivative of this curve and see the small signal gain. YOu can only get small signal gain and max and min signals at the input, nothing more.

Thanks,
Raj.

Hi,
the circuit and the response are from the tutorial. I am struggling to get the response. Its not clear to me whether this response is from Vout vs Vgs (which is common mode). In that case why the Vout is 0 when Vgs is 0. I mean its not clear to me how i can plot this from the above circuit.

Thanks
