Abstract :
In this paper, a graphical method for the determination of the transfer curves of a MOS differential pair is presented. It will be assumed that the individual transfer curves of the two input transistors are well known. Next it will be assumed that there is an ideal current source in the tail of the differential pair and that the input transistors operate in the saturate region.
