If g is the transconductance, r is the resistance due to channel length modulation and if M2 has channel length modulation but M1 doesn’t, what is the voltage gain at node x?(a) (1/g || r) / (1/g + (1/g || r))(b) (1/g || r) / (1/g + (1/g || 2r))(c) (1/g || r) / (2/g + (1/g || r))(d) (1/g || r) / (1/g + (2/g || r))The question was asked by my college professor while I was bunking the class.Asked question is from MOSFET Amplifier with CD Configuration topic in section FET Amplifiers of Analog Circuits

Answer»

Correct choice is (a) (1/g || r) / (1/g + (1/g || r))

EXPLANATION: The voltage gai at node X will be due to the follower stage. SINCE M2 has CHANNEL length modulation, we observe that the total resistance at the source of M2 is (1/g || r). Thus, from the expression of voltage gain of a follower- the voltage gain at node x is (1/g || r) / (1/g + (1/g || r)).
