SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the common-gate configuration of MOS transistors, specifically analyzing the Vout versus Vin relationship as Vin varies from 0 to VDD. The circuit aims to enhance frequency response by mitigating the Miller effect through the inclusion of a small capacitance Cgd. Additionally, incorporating a feedback resistor Rf reduces the gain ∂Vout/∂Vin while providing some linearization, particularly in cutoff mode where ∂Vout/∂Vin equals R/Rf, with R being the parallel combination of Rd and Rf.
