A: In other words, the small signal voltages
𝑣𝑔𝑠 for each transistor are equal to zero: 𝒗𝒈𝒔𝟐 = 𝒗𝒈𝒔𝟑 = 𝒗𝒈𝒔𝟒 = 𝟎
CS Amplifier with Constant Current Source ELCE 301
Note that for transistor Q1 there will be small-signal voltages 𝑣𝑔𝑠1 (𝑡) and
𝑣𝑑𝑠1 (𝑡), along with 𝑖𝑑1 (𝑡). Likewise for transistor Q2, a small-signal voltage
𝑣𝑑𝑠2 (𝑡) and current 𝑖𝑑2 𝑡 will occur.
But, for the remainder of the voltages and currents in this circuit (e.g.,
𝑉𝐷𝑆4 , 𝑉𝐺𝑆2 , 𝐼𝐷3 ), the small-signal component is zero!

is equivalent to
this circuit
For example, if 𝐾1 is twice that of 𝐾𝑟𝑒𝑓 (i.e., 𝐾1 = 2𝐾𝑟𝑒𝑓 ), then 𝐼𝐷1 will be
twice as large as 𝐼𝑟𝑒𝑓 (i.e., 𝐼𝐷1 = 2𝐼𝑟𝑒𝑓 ).
