Sorry. I made a mistake.
I will explain it much more clearly. I don't calculate it accurately, just explain it intuitively.
Firstly, let us discuss the resistance at drain of M5 at low frequency. If the voltage at drain of M5 increase, the voltage at drain of M9 wil be very high because of high gain which means the voltage at gate of M5 will be high, if take Cgd into account, there will have current flowing from gate of M5 to its drain. it seems that it will show negative resistance. But do not forget the feedback path. High voltage at the gate of M5 also means M5 will drive much more current from the drain of M5. So it's negative or positive ? Seems hard to say. My argument is M5 is an amplifier, but Cgd of M5 cannot amplify signal. So M5 itself will drain much more current than Cgd it self. So We could say the resistance at drain of M5 is very low at low frequency. If calculate it and does not take Cgd into consideration, I think it will show low resistance.
Actually, taking Cgd into account for your circuit analysis will make the problems very complex. So I highly recommend not to take it into account except when you do nanometer circuit design. Just beware of the effect of Cgd when you design your circuit. For hand calculation, it will make the problem very complex.
Then goes to high frequency, That's where I made a huge mistake. The pole at the drain of M5 will not be that high as the loop gain will be low at high frequency. But it still higher than the pole of the drain of M9. The pole of the drain of M5 really exist. You said that the signal will not flow through M5. You are right if you were talking about output signal. But this saying is misleading. Consider there is a signal flow to the drain of M9. You said the signal will not flow through M5. But the real signal we are talking about is the signal flow to the drain of M9. This signal actually will split into two signal. One signal flow to the gate of M5, then this signal will introduce output signal. But there is another signal that flow through M5 and M9 themselves. How large is this signal will influence another signal that flow to the gate of M5. So the pole at the drain of M5 will influence the behavior of the circuit. |
