5.2 Developing an Analytic <strong>Circuit</strong> Model 114<br />

(5.12)<br />

From our earlier assumption that gm3 R f » 1 , and assuming that the two pole frequencies<br />

of Equation (5.12) are significantly higher than the dominant pole, we can<br />

conclude that the loop gain is large. Thus, the overall transfer characteristic from<br />

i scA to v A is dominated by its feedback path, giving<br />

L 3<br />

As such, the entire SFG can be reduced to Figure 5.7, which when collapsed, can be<br />

represented schematically in Figure 5.8.<br />
