This document summarizes the steps to derive the small signal model of a MOSFET:
1) Draw the SCS equivalent circuit model by replacing the MOSFET with its small-signal model.
2) Determine the operating point voltage and current in terms of the input operating point voltage.
3) Assuming an input bias point voltage, draw the small signal model with the transistor represented by a voltage-controlled current source in parallel with the intrinsic capacitances.
