Smallsignal device modeling In many applications, we are only interested in the response of the device to a smallsignal applied on top of a bias. I D v ds v gs V GS v bs V BS V DS Key Points: Smallsignal is small response of nonlinear components becomes linear Since response is linear, lots of linear circuit techniques such as superposition can be used to determine the circuit response.
