• The gain is independent of the bias currents and voltages (so long as M1 stays in
saturation). In other words, as the input and output signal levels vary, the gain remains
relatively constant, indicating that the input-output characteristic is relatively linear.

The linearization is obtained at the cost of lower gain

Input impedance: Rin  

Output impedance: Rout  RD

Common-Source Stage with Source Degeneration

The resistance seen in the source path = resistance seen “looking up”

Resistance tied between drain and ground / Resistance tied between source and ac ground

Source Follower or Common-drain Stage
B. Source Follower or “common-drain” stage:

The source follower senses the signal at the gate, while presenting a high input impedance,
and drives the load at the source, allowing the source potential to “follow” the gate voltage.

Vin = V1 + Vout Vbs = −Vout

Vout / Vin  
1  ( g m  g mb ) Rs ( g m  g mb )

Vin increases → ID increases → leads to increase in gm non-linearity prone
