High Frequency Roll-off of Amplifier
 As frequency of operation increases, the gain of amplifier
decreases. This chapter analyzes this problem.

Example: Human Voice I
Natural Voice
Telephone System
 Natural human voice spans a frequency range from 20Hz to
20KHz, however conventional telephone system passes
frequencies from 400Hz to 3.5KHz. Therefore phone

Frequency Response differs from face-to-face conversation.

 Since the paths are different, the results will also be
different.

Example: Video Signal
High Bandwidth
Low Bandwidth
 Video signals without sufficient bandwidth become fuzzy as
they fail to abruptly change the contrast of pictures from
complete white into complete black.

Gain Roll-off: Simple Low-pass Filter
 In this simple example, as frequency increases the
impedance of C1 decreases and the voltage divider consists
of C1 and R1 attenuates Vin to a greater extent at the output.

 The capacitive load, CL, is the culprit for gain roll-off since
at high frequency, it will “steal” away some signal current
and shunt it to ground.

 At low frequency, the capacitor is effectively open and the
gain is flat. As frequency increases, the capacitor tends to
a short and the gain starts to decrease. A special
is ω=1/(RDCL), where the gain drops by 3dB.

 The relationship is such that as R1C1 increases, the
bandwidth drops and the step response becomes slower.

 The circuit only has one pole (no zero) at 1/(R DCL), so the

be configured such that the gain at low frequency is
reduced.

 In order to successfully pass audio band frequencies (20
Hz-20 KHz), large input and output capacitances are
needed.

Direct Coupling
 Capacitive coupling, also known as AC coupling, passes
AC signals from Y to X while blocking DC contents.

MOS Intrinsic Capacitances
 For a MOS, there exist oxide capacitance from gate to
channel, junction capacitances from source/drain to
substrate, and overlap capacitance from gate to
CH 11source/drain.

Gate Oxide Capacitance Partition and Full Model
 The gate oxide capacitance is often partitioned between
source and drain. In saturation, C2 ~ Cgate, and C1 ~ 0. They
are in parallel with the overlap capacitance to form CGS and
CGD.
