Integrated Circuit Biasing

Active Loads

Up to now, voltage-divider resistor networks can be used as a
biasing technique for the discrete circuits (FET and BJT
amplifiers). But this technique is not suitable for integrated circuits
(ICs). Resistors require relatively large areas on an IC compared
to
transistors;
therefore,
a
resistor-intensive
circuit
would
necessitate a large chip area. Also, the resistor biasing technique
uses extensively coupling capacitors. On an ICs, it is almost
impossible to fabricate capacitors in the microfarad range, as
would be required for the coupling capacitors.
5
Biasing transistors and transistor circuits in ICs is considerably
different from that in discrete transistor designs. Essentially,
biasing integrated circuit amplifiers involves the use of constantcurrent sources.
Transistors are also used as load devices in BJT and FET amplifier
circuits. These transistors, called active loads, replace the discrete
collector and drain resistors in BJT and FET circuits. Using an
active load eliminates resistors from the IC and achieves a higher
small-signal voltage gain.

Two-Transistor Current Source
The two transistor current source, also called a current mirror, is the basic
building block in the design of integrated circuit current sources.
V+
The

consists of two matched or identical
transistors, Q1 and Q2, operating at
Q1
the same temperature, with their

connected together. The B-E voltage
is therefore the same in the two

identical, then IB1 = IB2 and IC1=IC2. Transistor Q2 is assumed be
biased in the forward active region.

Output Resistance
In our previous analysis, we assumed that the Early voltage was
infinitive, so that hoe = 0. In actual transistors, the Early voltage is finite,
which means that the collector current is a function of the collectoremitter voltage. The stability of a load current generated in a constantcurrent source is a function of the output resistance looking back into the
output transistor.

Output Resistance
The difference between the two three-transistor current source
circuits is the output resistance. In the Wilson current source,
the output resistance looking into the collector of Q3 is

which is approximately a factor (hfe/2) larger
than that of the either the two-transistor source or the basic

source, the change in bias current IO with a change in output
collector voltage is much smaller.

In MOSFET current-source circuits, the
V+
output resistance is a measure of the
ID2=IO

RO
stability with respect to changes in the
output voltage. This output resistance can
M3
be increased by modifying the circuits, as
M4
shown in Figure, which is a cascode
current mirror.

To determine the output resistance at

constant, the gate voltages to M1 and

cases, the supply voltage dependence

R
which the load currents are essentially

Since the PMOS devices are matched, the

This value of resistance R will establish the drain currents ID1 = ID2. the
currents ID1 and ID2 are independent of the supply voltages V+ and V- as
long as M2 and M3 are biased in the saturation region. As the difference,
V+ - V-, increases, the values of VDS2 and VDS3 increase but the currents
remain essentially constant.

Circuits with Active Loads
In bipolar amplifiers, the small-signal voltage gain is directly
proportional to the collector resistor RC. To increase the gain,
we need to increase the value of RC, but there is a practical
limitation. Active loads eliminate this limitation.
This load
device can be a transistor, which will also occupy less area in
an integrated circuit, another advantage of using transistors in
place of resistors. In addition, active loads produce a much
larger small-signal voltage gain than discrete resistors.

we must determine the resistance looking into the collector of the active

In the Q1 portion of the equivalent circuit, there are no independent ac
sources to excite any currents or voltages. Therefore, ib1 = ib2 = 0, which
means that the dependent source hfe2ib2 is zero and is equivalent to an

Differential- and Common-Mode Input Impedances
The input impedance, or resistance, of an amplifier is as important
property as the voltage gain. The input resistance determines the
loading effect of the circuit on the signal source.
➢ The differential-mode input resistance is the effective
resistance between the two input base terminals when a
differential-mode signal is applied.
➢ The common-mode input resistance is the resistance seen by
a common-mode input signal.

BiCMOS Circuits
• Bipolar transistors have a larger voltage gain than MOSFETs
biased at the same current levels.
• MOSFET circuits have an essentially infinite input impedance at
low frequencies, which implies a zero bias current.
• These advantages of the two technologies can be exploited by
combining bipolar and MOS transistors in the same integrated
circuit. The BicMOS technology is especially useful in digital
circuit design, but also has applications in analog circuits.

Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp)
118
59
The term operational amplifier, or op-amp for short, was coined in
1947 by John R. Ragazzini to denote a special type of amplifier that,
by proper selection of its external components, could be configured for
a variety of operations such as amplifications, addition, subtraction,
differentiation, and integration. The first application of op-amps were
analog computers. The ability to perform mathematical operations was
the result of combining high gain with negative feedback.
Early op-amps were implemented with vacuum tubes, so they were
bulky, power-hungry, and expensive. Integrated circuit (IC) op-amp
was developed by Robert J. Widlar at Fairchild Semiconductor
Corporation in the early 1960s. In 1968 Fairchild introduced the opamp that was to become the industry standard, the popular µA741.

Therefore, the input voltages V1 and

produce a dc output voltage VO.
Output voltage is limited to V ̶ + ΔV < VO < V+ ̶ ΔV. In older op-amp designs,
such as the 741, the value of ΔV is between 1 and 2V. However, in never
CMOS op-amp designs, the value of ΔV may be as low as 10 mV.
A typical value of the maximum output current is on the order of ±20 mA for
a general-purpose op-amp.

Ideal Op-Amp
• Open-loop gain Aod is very large and approaches infinity.
• The differential input voltage (V1-V2) is assumed to be zero. If Aod is
very large and if the output voltage VO is finite, two input voltages must
be nearly equal.
• The effective input resistance to the op-amp is assumed to infinite, so
the two input currents, i1 and i2, are essentially zero.
• The output resistance RO is assumed to be zero.

Input and Output Voltage Limitations
For linear circuit operation, all BJTs in an op-amp circuit must be biased
in the forward active region and all MOSFETs must be biased in the

Example : An audio amplifier system is to use an op-amp with an op-amp
loop gain of AO = 2x105 and a dominant-pole frequency of 5 Hz. The
bandwidth of the audio system is to be 20 kHz. Determine the maximum
closed-loop gain for the audio amplifier.
Solution : The unity-gain bandwidth is found as
fT = AO f PD = ( 5 Hz ) ( 2  10 5 ) = 10 6 Hz = 1MHz
Since the gain-bandwidth product is a constant, we have

Comment: If the closed-loop gain is less than or equal to 50, then the

Slew Rate, SR
When a step function is applied at the op-amp input, the output
voltage cannot change instantaneously with time because of
capacitance effects within the op-amp circuit. The maximum rate at
which the output changes with time is called the slew rate.
If a large sinusoidal signal or step function is applied to an op-amp
circuit, the input stage can be overdriven and the small-signal model
will no longer apply.

If a large step voltage greater that 120 mV is applied at V2 with V1 held at
ground potential, then Q2 is effectively cutoff, which means IC2 ~ 0, and
IC1 = IQ. The entire bias current is switched to Q1. since IC3 ~ IC1, then we
also have IC4 ~ IQ.
177
The base current into Q5 is very small; therefore, the current through the
compensation current C is IO = IC4 = IQ.
Since the voltage gain of the emitter-follower output stage is
essentially unity, the capacitor current can be written as
IO = C
d (VO − VO 1 )
dt
The gain of the second stage is large, which means that VO1 << VO.
Equation then becomes
IO  C

The maximum current through the compensation capacitor is limited to
bias current IQ; consequently, the maximum rate at which the output
voltage can change is also limited by the bias current IQ.

The maximum rate of change of the output voltage is the slew rate of the
op-amp, the units of which are usually given as volts per millisecond.

Offset Voltage
If the two input devices are mismatched, the currents in the two
branches of the diff-amp are unequal and this effects the diff-amp dc
output voltage. In fact, the internal circuitry of the entire op-amp usually
contains imbalances and asymmetries, all of which can cause a
nonzero output voltage for a zero input differential voltage.
Input Stage Offset Voltage Effects
Several possible mismatches in the input diff-amp stage can produce
offset voltages.

Offset Voltage Compensation
In many applications, especially those for which the input signal
is large compared to the offset voltage VOS, the effect of the
offset voltage is negligible. However, there are situations in
which it is necessary to compensate for, or “null out,” the offset
voltage. Two such methods are:
(a) an externally connected offset compensation network, and
(b) an operational amplifier with offset-null terminals.

Input Bias Current
The input currents to an ideal op-amp are zero. In actual op-amp,
however, the input bias currents are not zero.
If the input diff-amp consists of a pair of JFETs, the input bias currents
are normally much smaller than those in a bipolar differential pair. A
MOSFET input differential pair, generally, must include protection
devices, so the input bias currents are also not zero even this case.

Equation shows that R3 should be made equal to the parallel combination
of R1 and R2, to eliminate the effect of equal input bias currents.
If R3 = R1//R2 and if the bias current s are not equal, then
VO = R2 ( I B1 − I B2 ) = R2 IOS
201
Example: Determine the bias current effect in an op-amp circuit, with
and without bias compensation.
R1 = 10k  and R2 = 100k  . Assume I B1 = 1.1 A and I B1 = 1.0  A
VO = R2 I B1 = ( 100k  )( 1.1 A ) = 0.11V
We design R3 such that
R3 = R1 P R2 = 10 P 100 = 9.09k 
VO = R2 ( I B1 − I B 2 ) = 100k  ( 1.1 A − 1 A ) = 0.01V
Even if the input offset current is not zero, the effect of the bias
currents can be reduced substantially by incorporating resistor R3.

Offset Voltage Temperature Coefficient
The electrical properties of transistors are functions of temperature
which means that the input offset voltage is a function of temperature.
The rate of change of offset voltage with temperature is defined as the
temperature coefficient of the offset voltage, or input offset voltage drift,
and is given by
TCVOS =
dVOS
dT
Input Offset Current Temperature Coefficient
The input bias currents are functions of temperature. The input offset
current temperature coefficient is

An ideal difference amplifier amplifies only the difference between two
signals; it rejects any common signals to the two input terminals. For
example, a microphone system amplifies an audio signal applied to one
terminal of a difference amplifier, and rejects only 50 Hz noise signal or
“hum” existing on both terminals.

It is difficult to obtain a high input impedance and a high gain in a
difference amplifier with a reasonable resistor values. (One solution is
to insert a voltage follower between each source and the
corresponding input.)

Diode in ON id >0 , whenever Vin is greater than 0.7 / AOL. Thus this
rectifier circuit reduces the diode turn-on voltage by the factor AOL.
For example,
AOL = 104 this means that the turn-on voltage for this
precision rectifier will only be 0.07mV instead of 700mV.
233
A potential problem in this circuit exists for Vin < 0. the feedback
loop is broken so that the op-amp output voltage VO1 will saturate
near the negative supply voltage. Vin switches positive, it will take
time for the interval circuit to recover, so the response time of the
output voltage may be relatively slow. In addition, for Vin < 0 and
VO = 0, there is now a voltage difference applied across the input
terminals of the op-amp. Most op-amps provide input voltage
protection so the op-amp will not be damaged in this case.
However, if the op-amp does not have input protection, the op-amp
may be damaged if the input voltage is larger than 5 or 6V.

For this circuit, the output voltage is proportional to the log of the input
voltage. One disadvantage of this circuit is that the reverse-saturation
current IS is a strong function of temperature, and it varies substantially
from one diode to another. A more sophisticated circuit uses bipolar
transistors to eliminate the IS parameter in the log term.

Reference Voltage Source Design
Zener diodes are used to provide a constant or reference voltage
source. A limitation, however, was that the reference voltage could
never be greater than the zener voltage. A zener diode with an op-amp
can be combined to provide more flexibility in the design of reference
voltage sources.

Difference Amplifier and Bridge Circuit Design
A transducer is a device that transforms one form of energy into another
form. One type of transducer uses nonelectrical inputs to produce
electrical outputs. A pressure transducer is a device in which, for
example, a resistance is a function of pressure, so that pressure can be
converted to an electrical signal. Often, the output characteristics of this
transducer is measured with a bridge circuit.

Resistance R3 represents the transducer, and
parameter δ is the deviation of R3 from R2 due
to the input response of the transducer. The
R2
output voltage VO1 is a measure of δ.

VO1 must be connected to an instrumentation amplifier. In addition, VO1
is directly proportional to supply voltage V+; therefore, this bias should
be a well-defined voltage reference.

The temperature range to be measured is 0 to 50 ˚C. The output voltage
is to be in the range of 0 to 5V with 0V corresponding to 0 ˚C and 5V
corresponding to 50 ˚C.

When Φ1 = 1, Φ2 = 0 ➔ Capacitor charges up to V1.
When Φ1 = 0, Φ2 = 1 ➔ Capacitor discharges to V2. (assuming V1>V2)
The amount of charge transferred during this time process is Q = C(V1-V2)
and the transfer occurs during one clock period TC. The equivalent current
is then

Digital-to-Analog (D/A) Converters
For the results of digital computations to be used in the analog world, it
becomes necessary to convert the digital values to proportional analog
values. Figure shows the block diagram of a typical digital-to-analog (D/A)
converter, which accepts an n-bit parallel digital code as input and
provides an analog current or voltage as output.

for audio reproduction). However, the RF circuits where Class C amps
are used employ filtering so that the final signal is completely
acceptable. Class C amps are quite efficient.

Class D Power amplifier
A class-D amplifier is one in which the output transistors are operated
as switches. The “D” in class-D is sometimes said to stand for “digital.”
This is not correct because the operation of the class-D amplifier is
based on analog principles.
351
The network consisting of R1 and C2 compensates for the inductive
impedance of the loudspeaker voice coil so that the filter sees a resistive
load at high frequencies.
The passive filter consisting of L1 and C1 passes the average or lowfrequency value of
v’0 to the loudspeaker load and rejects the higher-
frequency harmonics of the switching waveform.
A class D amplifier is an efficient form of switching amplifier. It can be up
to 90% power efficient.

Thermal Runaway
Thermal runaway refers to a situation where an increase in temperature
changes the conditions in a way that causes a further increase in
temperature leading to a destructive result.
◼
The maximum average power which a transistor can dissipate depends
upon the transistor construction and may lie in the range from a few
miliwatts to several hundred watts. The maximum power is limited by the
temperature that the collector to base junction can withstand.
◼
The junction temperature may rise either because the ambient
temperature rises or because of self heating.
◼
It is found experimentally that the steady state temperature rise at collector
junction is proportional to the power dissipated at the junction, or
TJ − TA =  PD

TJ − TA =  PD

Feedback and Stability
360
180
The small-signal voltage gain and other characteristics of discrete BJT
and MOSFET transistor circuit amplifiers are functions of the bipolar
current gain and the MOSFET conduction parameter. In general, these
transistor parameters vary with temperature and they have a range of
values for a given type of transistor group, because of processing and
material property tolerances. This means that the Q-point, voltage gain,
and other circuit parameters can vary from one circuit to another, and
can be functions of temperature.
Transistor circuit characteristics can be made essentially independent
of the individual transistor parameters by using feedback. The feedback
process takes a portion of the output signal and returns it to the input to
become part of the input excitation.
361
Feedback Amplifiers
Feedback is used in virtually all amplifier systems. In a feedback
system, a signal that is proportional to the output is fed back to the
input and combined with the input signal to produce a desired system
response.
Feedback can be either negative (degenerative) or positive
(regenerative). In negative feedback, a portion of the output signal is
subtracted from the input signal; in positive feedback, a portion of
the signal is added to the input signal. Positive feedback is used to in
the design of oscillators and in a number of other applications.
362
181
In amplifier design, negative feedback is applied to effect one or
more of the following properties:
➢ Gain sensitivity : It makes the closed-loop gain less sensitive
to variations that occur in the open-loop gain of the amplifier.
➢ Reduce the nonlinear distortion
➢ Noise Sensitivity : Reduce the effect of noise
➢ Control of the input and output impedances.
➢ Extend the bandwidth of the amplifier
Disadvantages
➢ Circuit gain
➢ Stability: there is possibility that the feedback circuit may
become unstable (oscillate) at high frequencies.

ACL  AOL positive feedback
ACL  AOL negative feedback
365
For negative feedback, we assume T to be a positive real function. The
gain will be negative ( 180 degree phase difference between input and
output signals) in some cases which means that the transfer function β
will also be negative quantity for a negative feedback circuit.
T = AOL  =

Normally, the error signal is small, so the expected loop gain is large.
If the loop gain is large so that βAOL>> 1, then
ACL =
AOL
A
1
 OL =
1 +  AOL  AOL 
and the gain or transfer function of the feedback amplifier essentially
becomes a function of the feedback network only.
366
183
The feedback circuit is usually composed of passive elements,
which means that the feedback amplifier gain is almost
completely independent of the basic amplifier properties,
including individual transistor parameters. Since the feedback
amplifier gain is a function of the feedback elements only, the
closed loop gain can be designed to be a given value. The
individual transistor parameters may vary widely, and may
depend on temperature and frequency, but the feedback
amplifier gain is constant. The net results of negative feedback
is stability in the amplifier characteristics.

Gain Sensitivity
If the feedback transfer function β is constant, then taking the derivative
of ACL with respect to AOL
dACL =

Equation shows that the percent change in the closed loop gain ACL is
less than the corresponding percent change in the open-loop gain AOL by
the factor (1 + βA). The change in the open-loop gain may result from
variations in individual transistor parameters in the basic amplifier.
369
Example: AOL =106 and ACL = 100. If the magnitude of AOL
decreases by 20 percent, what is the corresponding percent

Bandwidth Extension
The amplifier bandwidth is a function of feedback. Assume the
frequency response of the basic amplifier can be characterized by a
single pole. We can write
AOL ( s ) =
AO
1+
s
H
Where AO is the low-frequency or midband gain, and ωH is the
upper 3dB or corner frequency.
The closed-loop gain of the feedback amplifier can be expressed
ACL ( s ) =

1 +  AOL ( s ) ( 1 +  AO ) 1 +

The gain-bandwidth product

Example: Determine the bandwidth of a feedback amplifier. AOL =104,
ACL(0) = 50 and open loop bandwidth =2π(100) rad/s.

Closed-loop bandwidth is
CLH =  H ( 1 +  AO ) = 2 ( 100 )( 200 ) = 2 ( 20  10 3 )
The bandwidth increases from 100Hz to 20kHz as the gain decreases from
104 to 50.
372
186
Noise Sensitivity
In any electronic system, unwanted random and extraneous
signals may be present in addition to the desired signal. These
random signals are called noise. Electronic noise can be
generated within an amplifier, or may enter the amplifier along
with the input signal. Negative feedback may reduce the noise
level in amplifiers; More accurately, it may increase the signal-tonoise ratio. More precisely, feedback can help reduce the effect of
noise generated in an amplifier, but it cannot reduce the effect
when the noise is part of the input signal.
373
The input signal-to-noise ratio is defined as
( SNR ) i =
Si
v

N i vn
The output signal-to-noise ratio is defined as
( SNR )O =

A S

A large signal-to-noise ratio allows the signal to be detected without any
loss of information. This is a desirable characteristic.

Reduction of Nonlinear Distortion
Distortion in an output signal is caused by a change in the basic
amplifier gain or a change in the slope of the basic amplifier function.
The change in gain is a function of the nonlinear properties of bipolar
and MOS transistors used in the basic amplifier.

Stability of the Feedback Circuit
In negative feedback, a portion of the output signal is subtracted from
the input signal to produce the error signal. However, this subtraction
property, or the loop gain, may change as a function of frequency. At
some frequencies, the subtraction may actually be addition; that is,
the negative feedback may become positive, producing an unstable
system.
The Stability Problem
The ideal closed-loop transfer function of the basic feedback
configuration is
Af =
A
1+  A
407
The open-loop gain is a function of the individual transistor parameters
and capacitances, and is therefore a function of frequency. The closedloop gain can then be written as
Af ( s ) =
A( s)
1 +  A( s)
or A f ( j ) =
A ( j )
A ( j )
=
1 +  A ( j ) 1 + T ( j )
where T(jω) is the loop gain. The loop gain can be represented by
its amplitude and phase, as follows:
T ( j ) = T ( j ) 
408
204
The stability of the feedback circuit is a function of the loop gain
T(jω). If the loop gain magnitude is unity when the phase is 180
degrees, then T(jω) = -1 and the closed-loop gain goes to
infinity. This implies that an output will exist for a zero input,
which means that the circuit will oscillate. If we are trying to build
a linear amplifier, an oscillator is considered an unstable circuit.
If |T(jω)| < 1 when the phase is 180 degrees, the system is
stable, whereas if |T(jω)| ≥ 1 when the phase is 180 degrees,
the system is unstable.

413
Nyquist Stability Criterion
Several methods can be used to determine whether a system is
stable or unstable. Nyquist stability criterion method not only
determines if a system is stable, it also indicates the degree of system
stability.
The Nyquist diagram is a plot of the real and imaginary components
of T(jω) as the frequency ω varies from minus infinity to plus infinity.
Although negative frequencies have no physical meaning, they are
not mathematically excluded in the loop gain function. The polar plot
of for the negative frequencies is the complex conjugate of the polar
plot for positive frequencies.

In this case, the three poles all occur at the same frequency.

which yields f180 = 1.73 x 105 Hz.
The magnitude of the loop gain at this frequency for β = 0.2, is then
0.2  100

for β = 0.02, the magnitude is
T ( f 180 ) =
T ( f 180 ) =

The system is unstable for β = 0.2 and stable for β = 0.02.

in the range of 45 to 60 degrees.
A

Frequency Compensation
The general technique of making a feedback system stable is called
frequency compensation.
One basic method of frequency compensation involves a introducing a
new pole in the loop gain function, at a sufficiently low frequency that
|T(f)| = 1 occurs when |Φ| < 180°.
A dB
A new pole fPD is introduced at a low
frequency and since it dominates the
Ao

f
frequency response, it is called a
dominant pole. In this situation, the
f1
fPD
f2
f3
phase
magnitude of the loop gain becomes
-90
unity when the phase |Φ| < 180°, and
-180
f
-270
the system is stable.
421
This fourth pole can be introduced by adding a fourth stage with an
extremely large input capacitance. Though not practical, this method
demonstrates the basic idea of stabilizing a circuit.
Instead of adding a fourth dominant pole to achieve a stable system, we
can move pole f1, to a low frequency. This can be done by increasing the
effective input capacitance to the gain stage.

Voltage Regulators
A voltage regulator is a circuit or device that provides a constant
voltage to a load. The output voltage is controlled by the internal
circuitry and relatively independent of the load current supplied by the
regulator.

Since the regulator output voltage is derived from the reference voltage,
any variation in that voltage, as the power supply voltage Vin changes,
also affect the output voltage. Line regulation is defined as the ratio of
the change in output voltage to a given change in the input supply
voltage, or
line regulation =
VO
Vin
The ideal voltage regulator is equivalent to an ideal voltage source in
that the output voltage is independent of the output current and any
output load impedance. In actual voltage regulation, however, the output
voltage is slight function of output current. This defence is related to the
output resistance of the regulator.
The output resistance is defined as the rate of change of output voltage
with output current, or
RO = −
VO
I O
429
Load regulation is defined as the change in output voltage between a noload current condition and a full-load current condition. Load regulation
can expressed as a percentage, or
Load regulation =
VO ( NL ) − VO ( FL )
 100 %
VO ( NL )
Example: The output voltage of a power supply is 15V when the load
current is zero. When the load current is 250mA, its output voltage
decreases to 14.7V. Compute its output resistance and its percent of load
regulation.

Switching Regulators
The switching regulator is increasing popularity because it offers the
advantages of higher power conversion efficiency and increased
design flexibility (multiple output voltages of different polarities can be
generated from a single input voltage).
The operating principles of the four most commonly used switching
converter types:
Buck
: used the reduce a DC voltage to a lower DC voltage.
Boost
: provides an output voltage that is higher than the input.
Buck-Boost: an output voltage is generated opposite in polarity to
the input.
Flyback
: an output voltage that is less than or greater than the
input can be generated, as well as multiple outputs.

Calculating Inductor L1
The current following through L1 is equal to the nominal DC load
current plus some ΔIL which is due to the changing voltage across it.
A good rule of thumb is to set ΔILpp ≈ 40% x I0.

For best regulation, the inductor’s current cannot be allowed to
fall to zero. Some minimum load current I0 , and thus inductor
current, is required as shown below.
