If both the MOSFET’s are identical and have channel length modulation, what is the output impedance at node S?(a) R1 || ro1 || ro2(b) R1 + (ro1 || ro2)(c) R1 + (ro1 + ro2)(d) R1 || (ro1 + ro2)I had been asked this question in homework.This interesting question is from MOSFET Amplifier with CS Configuration topic in division FET Amplifiers of Analog Circuits

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) R1 || ro1 || ro2

Easiest explanation: If we perform a small signal ANALYSIS at node S, we will find that three resistors are connected from node S to ground. They are R1, and the resistances appearing between source and DRAIN of the MOSFET’s DUE to channel length MODULATION ie ro1 and ro2. Hence, the output resistance is R1 || ro1 || ro2.
