5 CMOS Amplifiers - AC Analysis

The document discusses CMOS amplifiers and their basic topologies. It describes the small-signal model of a MOS transistor and introduces three common amplifier configurations: common-source, common-gate, and common-drain. It then examines the common-source amplifier in more detail, showing its equivalent circuit and deriving expressions for transconductance and output resistance. Finally, it discusses a common-source amplifier with a current source load and the effect of source degeneration.
