An active-cascode gain stage is shown in Fig. 8.54. Assume the amplifier A1has a voltage gain a = 1 à 103and infinite input impedance. For the transistors, kn= 140 µA/V2, Vov= 0.3 V, γ = 0, and λn= 0.03 V1. Assume all transistors are active. Calculate the output resistance using Blackmans impedance formula. Then calculate the voltage gain Ï o/Ï i.
