11/05/2020, 6:25 PMusing nfet for M2(Common drain configuration) is giving normal sine(non-inverted) but wave is distorted like small ramp signal on it and DC is also addded

11/05/2020, 7:17 PMOperating it like this with no feedback is not the normal way to try and amplify signals.
And there will be an DC offset at the bias of the output but this will be very badly defined without feedback

11/05/2020, 7:19 PMThe biasing is not really the normal way to do it because it relies on the gm of M9. Do you know what the bias currents through the circuit are?
Typically you'd use a current source into a current mirror - like you've already got - to exactly define the bias current through the circuit.

11/06/2020, 1:34 AMIf you want a square signal at the output, that means the circuit needs to operate at non linear region which simply means the input voltage swing needs to be larger. I think 1mV is way smaller than the transistor threshold voltage which is why it cannot compare between 0V and 1mV . Try larger voltage swing like 500mV.

11/06/2020, 5:44 AM@Md Munir Hasan thanks I will try with larger input voltage also
