In the following CMOS inverter logic gate, assume the transistor size of (W/L)n = 0.8 μm/0.20 μm and (W/L)p = 1.6 μm/0.20 μm and VDD = 3.0 V. (a). Determine the operation modes (e. g. cut-off, linear or saturation) of the NMOS and PMOS transistors respectively at Vin = 0.2 V, 0.9 V, 1.5 V, 2.1 V, and 2.8 V. Using a table to list the operation modes is recommended. (Note: You may need to do multiple calculations for the data point Vin = 1.5 V with Vin = 1.4 V or 1.6 V). (b). Using the tabulated results in (a) or otherwise, determine the current flowing through both the NMOS and PMOS transistors at the different input voltage Vin in (a). (c). Using Matlab or Excel, plot a graph of the current against the input voltage Vin. (d). Using the above results in (a) and (b) or otherwise, determine the output voltage Vout at the different input voltage Vin in (a). (e). Using Matlab or Excel, plot a graph of the voltage transfer characteristics (VTC) (i. e. output voltage Vout versus input voltage Vin ) of the CMOS inverter with the five sets of data points obtained. It is given that the threshold voltage VTon = 0.50 V and μnCox = 430 μA/V2 for the NMOS transistor while VTop = −0.50 V and μpCox = 210 μA/V2 for the PMOS transistor. Assume the long-channel approximation of the MOSFET and there is no body effect (i. e. the body terminal of the MOSFETs are properly connected respectively to ground and VDD).

Q1. Consider the CMOS inverter of which the transistors have the following parameters: μnCox = 4μpCox = 160 μA/V2, ∣γ| = 0.5 V1/2, 2Φf = 0.5 V, λ = 0.001 V−1, Vtno = 0.6 V, Vtpo = −0.8 V, (W/L)n = 1 and (W/L)p = 4. The supply voltage VDD = 3.3 V. The capacitive load at the output node is 20 pF. The input voltage Vin is expected to be a perfect periodic square wave with full swing (low level : 0 V, high level: VDD). (a) Calculate tl, the time required for the output voltage Vout to change from 0 V to the threshold voltage of the inverter, using the average-current method. (b) Write the expression of calculation of t2, the time required for the output voltage Vout to change from 2.9 V to the 0.4 V, using the analytical method (integral). Then calculate t2 using the average-current method. (c) Determine the maximum frequency of the periodic square wave input so that the output signal will have a full swing in each cycle. (d) Calculate the peak value of in, the NMOS transistor current, during the transition, and its average value over a clock cycle T. (The average value here is not the same as the average-current in the "average-current method" for delay estimation) (e) If the capacitive load is now changed to be 250 pF, what can be done to make tl and t2 unchanged?
