Draw the small-signal model for the circuit shown below, where M1 and M2 can be assume to operate in saturation mode and λ ≠ 0. Use the appropriate small signal parameter variables where necessary, e.g. you may use gm1 and gm2 to describe the transconductance for transistors M1 and M2, respectively. Also, derive an expression for the small-signal voltage gain.

For the circuit shown below, let's assume M1 and M2 are operating in saturation mode, with a drain current of ID = 198 μA. We further assume that the transconductance for M1 is gm1 = 3.3 mS and for M2 it is gm2 = 3.9 mS. The channel-length modulation parameters for the two transistors are λ1 = 0.026 V-1 and λ2 = 0.017 V-1. What is the small-signal voltage gain of the circuit? Give your answer to 0 decimal place.

Transistors operate in the saturation region. Please use subscripts to refer to M1 and M2. VB is a bias voltage. Please ignore backgate effect. Please consider ro. Do NOT include any capacitors. Do NOT need to show results in a fully expanded form. (1) Draw the small-signal model of the differential-mode half circuit. Provide a symbolic expression for the differential-mode voltage gain. (2) Draw the small-signal model of the common-mode half circuit. Provide a symbolic expression for the common-mode voltage gain.
