the two time constants associated with the capacitors

We could solve for τ1 and τ2 but is algebraically complex.
•However, if we assume that τ1 >> τ2 ,⇒ τ1 + τ2 ≈ τ1.
•This is a conservative estimate since the true τ1 is actually
smaller and hence the true bandwidth is actually larger
than:

The input impedance Zi is determined by applying a test
voltage Vt to the input and measuring It:
Vout = −gm Vt Rout
′ + I t Rout

The Miller Approximation assumes that current through
Cµ is small compared to the transconductance generator
I t << g m Vt
Vout ≈ −gm Vt Rout

We can relate Vt and Vout by
It

• An impedance connected across an amplifier with
voltage gain Avo can be replaced by an an impedance
to ground … divided by (1-Avo)
• Avo is large and negative for common-emitter and
common-source amplifiers
• Capacitance at input is magnified.

3. Open Circuit Time Constant Analysis
Assumptions:
• No zeros
• One “dominant” pole (1/τ1 << 1/τ2 , 1/τ3 … 1/τn )
• N capacitors
Vout
Avo
=
Vs
(1 + jωτ1 )(1 + jωτ2 )(1 + jωτn )
The example shows a voltage gain; however, it could be
Iout/Vs or Vout/Is.
Multiplying out the denominator:
Vout
Avo
=
Vs
1 + b1( jω) + b2 ( jω)2 + ... + bn ( jω)n
where b1 = τ1 + τ2 + τ3 +….+ τn
It can be shown that the coefficient b1 can be found
exactly [see Gray & Meyer, 3rd Edition, pp. 502-506]

b1 = ⎜⎜ ∑ RTi Ci ⎟⎟ = ⎜⎜ ∑ τ Cio ⎟⎟

• τCio is the open-circuit time constant for capacitor Ci
• Ci is the ith capacitor and RTi is the Thevenin
resistance across the ith capacitor terminals (with all
capacitors open-circuited)

Open Circuit Time Constant Analysis
Estimating the Dominant Pole
The dominant pole of the system can be estimated by:
b1 = τ1 + τ2 + τ3 +….+ τn
⎛N

b1 = ⎜⎜ ∑ RTi Ci ⎟⎟
⎝ i=1
⎠

τ1 =

ω1
RTiCi is the open-circuit time constant for capacitor Ci
Power of the Technique:
• Estimates the contribution of each capacitor to the
dominant pole frequency separately
• Enables the designer to understand what part of a
complicated circuit is responsible for limiting the
bandwidth of amplifier
• The approximate magnitude of the Bode Plot is
