If channel length modulation is present, what is the voltage gain?(a) ro1 / {(1/gm1 || ro2) + ro1}(b) ro2 / (1/gm1 + ro1)(c) ro2 / (1/gm1 + 3ro2)(d) ro2 / (2/gm1 + ro2)The question was posed to me in exam.Origin of the question is MOSFET Amplifier with CD Configuration in portion FET Amplifiers of Analog Circuits

Answer»

Right option is (a) ro1 / {(1/gm1 || RO2) + ro1}

For explanation I would say: M2 behaves as a Source follower i.e. it is being used in a C.D. configuration. M1 PROVIDES a output resistance of ro1but M2 provides an IMPEDANCE of (1/gm2||ro2). THUS, from the VOLTAGE gain of a follower stage, we conclude the overall voltage gain is ro1 / {(1/gm1 || ro2) + ro1}.
