MOSFET – Junction Capacitances Overlap capacitance (gate-to-source):
Unity-Gain Frequency fT fT is defined as the frequency at which the short-circuit current gain of the common source configuration becomes unity Define: (neglect sCgdVgs since Cgdis small)
Calculating fT For s=jw, magnitude of current gain becomes unity at fT~ 100 MHz for 5-mm CMOS, fT~ several GHz for 0.13mm CMOS
CS – Miller Effect Define Ceq such that
CS – Miller Effect fo is the corner frequency of the STC circuit
Example Rsig = 100 kW, RG=4.7 MW, RD =15 kW, gm=1mA/V, rds=150 kW, RL=10 kW, Cgs=1 pF and Cgd=0.4 pF
Example (cont’) Upper 3 dB frequency is at:
BJT Capacitances Base: Diffusion Capacitance: Cde (small signal) where Qn is minority carrier charge in base where tF is the forward transit time (time spent crossing base)
