Hello everybody, I have been currently reading the MOSFET chapter from Dr Sedra's book "Microelectronic circuits". There is an equation there that describes the voltage gain Av.
It is derived like that: first of all - output voltage vo=(i-gm*vgs)Rl (signal current - transcunductance*signal voltage at the gate)*load resistance
Next, there is an equation to describe the signal current i=(vgs-vo)/Rg (signal voltage-output voltage)/input resistance
And now is the problem, the author says that if we substitute for signal current i from the second equation into the first equation, then the voltage gain vo/vgs will be -gmRl*[(1-(1/gmRg))/(1+(Rl/Rg))]
So he arrives from here: vo=[((vgs-vo)/Rg)-gm*vgs]Rl to here vo/vgs=-gmRl*[(1-(1/gmRg))/(1+(Rl/Rg))]
I fail to understand which transformations does he do to arrive there, please guyz help me out!! In the 6th edition it is page 286 top.
