A multistage MOSFET amplifier is shown in the Fig. 8-1. You may assume that the body
and the source terminals of the NMOS and PMOS are connected together, i.e. no body effect
for NMOS and PMOS. You may also assume the following device parameters and all
NMOS and PMOS devices are identical:
a) Design RREF so that the drain currents for M1, M2 and M3 are 500A. (3 marks)

(c) For small signal AC analysis, Fig. 8-5(b) doesnt have body transconductance and thus
doesnt suffer from body effect. For DC analysis, due to the difference of source and body
voltage, the threshold voltage will change.
