If channel length modulation is present. what is the overall output impedance of the following CG stage?(a) Rd || {Rs*(1+gm * ro) + ro}(b) Rd || {Rs*(1+gm * ro) + 2ro}(c) Rd || {Rs*(1+gm * ro) – ro}(d) Rd || {Rs*(2+gm * ro) + ro}I had been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.This interesting question is from MOSFET Amplifier with CG Configuration topic in division FET Amplifiers of Analog Circuits

Answer»

Correct option is (a) Rd || {Rs*(1+gm * RO) + ro}

EASY explanation: The impedance LOOKING into the drain of M1 would be similar to that of a CS stage with source degeneration. That implies the impedance isRs*(1+gm * ro) + ro. But this impedance is parallel to Rd. Hence, the OVERALL output impedance becomes Rd || {Rs*(1+gm* ro) + ro}.
