  1. Among the output noise and the input-referred noise, which one is more popular to be used in the circuit simulation? Why?

Devices are often specified with input-referred noise, because, with an amplifier for example, the output noise will depend on gain so is not constant.

7.12 Assuming that λ=γ=0, calculate the input-referred thermal noise voltage of each circuit in Fig. 7.75. For part (a), assume that gm3,4=0.5gm5,6.

Figure 7.75 解:(a)

|Av|=gm1,2RoutVn,out2=4kTγ(2gm1,2+2gm3,4+2gm5,6)Rout2=4kTγ(2gm1,2+3gm5,6)Rout2Vn,in2=4kTγ(2gm1,2+3gm5,6gm1,22)

(b) The input-referred noise voltage of the five-transistor OTA is the same as that of the fully-differential circuit.

Gm=gm1,2In,out2=4kTγ(gm1+gm2+gm3+gm4)Vn,in2=In,out2Gm2=4kTγ(2gm1,2+2gm3,4gm1,22)
