回复 94# JoyShockley
I think I have already explained it clear enough.
To be more clear, if the frequency is lower than the dominant pole, of course, the resistance is ro.
When the frequency is higher than the dominant pole, the resistance starts to decrease.
Some maths: just approm
the dominant pole, 1/(gm*ro*ro*CL), the pole at the folded node: 1/(ro*Cfolded)
the resistance at the folded node is (ro+gm*ro*ro)/(1+gm*ro)
so the speed of the increasing of this pole and the decreasing of the resistance is the same.
So when this pole can have effect on the circuit, its resistance is already 1/gm.
Of course, you are right. This happens at high frequency. But the CL does not have to be large.
At low frequency, the pole at the folded node is of course low. But it has no visible effect on the circuit.
That's why we regard cascode single stage, instead of two stage. |
