∴ Voltage gain is
The value of V0/Vin for the circuit shown below is (Assume M1 in saturation)
M2 is also saturated because its gate and drain are shorted together. The small signal circuit is shown below:
Here,
For most MOSFET transistor, rd1 and d2 are much greater than 1/gm2.
Hence,
Now,
∴

Consider the following statements:
1. In most linear applications of field-effect transistors the device is operated in the. constant-current portion of its output characteristics.
2. In the region before pinch-off, where VDS is small, the FET is useful as a voltage variable resistors (VVR).
3. The VVR can be used in AGC amplifier to vary the voltage gain of multistage amplifier.

In the saturation region, the ID - VGS characteristics of a MOSFET are
For amplifier operation, MOSFET is always operated in saturation region.
Since, in saturation region,therefore the ID - VGS characteristics of a MOSFET are quadratic as evident from the above equation.
