Problem 3:
Consider the MOSFET common-drain amplifier shown below:
RG
M1
Vin
Rsig
Cin
VDD
Vout
Rs
CL
125
a) Using the method of short-circuit time constants, derive an expression for the
low-frequency cut-off pole of the amplifier circuit's low-frequency response.
b) Using the method of open-circuit time constants, derive an expression for the
high-frequency cut-off pole of the amplifier circuit's high-frequency response.
You may neglect the effects of channel length modulation in your analysis.
