Procedure to find : Ground input, remove Apply a test current sourceat output (conceptually, not experimentally, find voltage at output terminal v x i x Common-Source (CS Amplifier Previously, using MOSFET equation (on p. -4, we derived analytically : A V k n V OV (The process is combersome, tedious, and will go quickly out of hand with more complex circuits Using hybrid-pi model, it is almost trivial to solve: g m With load resistance, : Since is in paralle with g m (
