A transconductance amplifier with input Vs and output Io is shown in Fig. 2. The transistor is specified in terms of gm and ro. Neglect the body effect. (a) (4 points) Sketch the small-signal equivalent circuit using the hybrid-π model of the MOSFET. (b) (8 points) Show the output resistance is given by Rout = ro + RS + gmroRS. (c) (8 points) Derive the expression for Gm ≡ Io/Vs Vout = 0 in terms of gm, ro, and RS.
