Consider the current mirror shown below. a) What kind of current mirror is this? (2 points) b) Derive an equation for the small signal output resistance of this current mirror? Note that the output is at node B. (20 points) NOTE: You must show a full small signal model and all of your derivation starting from a KCL equation to get full credit for this. c) Derive an expression for the minimum DC voltage at the output. (8 points) d) Assume now that we apply a small signal vin at node A. What will happen to the voltage Vout. Hint: derive an expression for the voltage gain at node B. (20 points)
