MOS Biasing
Voltage at X is determined by VDD, R1, and R2. VGS can be found using the equation above, and ID can be
found by using the NMOS current equation.

Current Sources
When in saturation region, a MOSFET behaves as a current source.
NMOS draws current from a point to ground (sinks current), whereas PMOS draws current from VDD to a point (sources current).

The condition above ensures operation in saturation.

CS Stage with Current-Source Load
To alleviate the headroom problem, an active current-source load is used.
This is advantageous because a current-source has a high output resistance and can tolerate a small voltage drop across it.

Common-Gate Stage
Common-gate stage is similar to common-base stage: a rise in input causes a rise in output. So the gain is positive.

Signal Levels in CG Stage
In order to maintain M1 in saturation, the signal swing at Vout cannot fall below Vb-VTH.

Generalized CG Behavior
When a gate resistance is present it does not affect the gain and I/O impedances since there is no potential drop across it ( at low frequencies).
The output impedance of a CG stage with source resistance is identical to that of CS stage with degeneration.
