Abstract :
This paper presents a graphical model that shows the relationship between the differential input voltage and the effective gate-source voltages of the input transistors of a MOS differential pair. The model is derived for transistors operating in strong inversion, with a V-I square-law behavior, a power factor n behavior and exponential behavior. The model can be used to analyze more complex circuits.
