Assume the transistors are well-matched with identical μCox(W/L) values. 5.1. What is the value of Vdd? What is Vee? 5.2. Determine the states of the two FETs (cut-off, linear, or saturation) at points A, B, C, and D on the VTC. Write your answers in the table below. 5.3. Which point(s) on the VTC would produce the lowest static power consumption? 5.4. Place a large dot on the VTC at the point of largest dynamic power consumption.Figure 5 CMOS inverter w voltage transfer curve.

For the CMOS inverter with given voltage transfer characteristics and schematic, a) Find (VI, VO) in terms of VDD, VTn, VTp, Kn, Kp, and VM at points A, B, C, and D. For points B and C, use VM as the value of VI. b) Determine the states of the transistors in each region (I-to-V). Note that region III corresponds to the line between points B and C. You do not need to verify the states c) Derive VM in terms of VDD, VTn, VTp, Kn, and Kp. For VDD = 5 V and VTn = |VTP| = 1 V, find Kn/Kp to design a CMOS inverter with VM = 0.6 VDD = 3 V.

Figure 1 shows the voltage transfer characteristic (VTC) of a CMOS inverter. Note that the VTC is a straight line for VIL < Vin < VIH. Subthreshold current for both nMOS and pMOS is strictly zero, meaning nMOS and pMOS are strictly off when Vgsn < Vthn and Vsgp > |Vthp| Use VDD = VOH = 1.8 V VOL = GND = 0 V, and VIH = 1.35 V b) (6 pts) Determine the threshold voltages Vthn and Vthp. d) (7 pts) Suppose VDD is reduced to 0.6 V without changing other parameters (same Vthp and Vthn). Sketch how the voltage transfer characteristic curve changes, and qualitatively describe the behaviour of the inverter operation if it is different from a typical inverter.

CMOS inverter design Figure 2 shows the design of a CMOS inverter. WN = 420 nm and WP = 504 nm. CL = 20 fF, which is added in the test bench, not in the schematic. a. Plot out the voltage transfer characteristic (VTC), which is the curve of Vout vs. Vin , when Vin sweeps from 0 to VDD. b. Apply a ramp input to Vin , which is a 0 to VDD switching, with the transition time Tr = 30 ps (as shown in Figure 2). Plot out the waveform of Vout. Measure the 50% VDD delay (i. e. , time Figure 2. The schematics of a CMOS inverter difference from the 50% point of input to the 50% point of output) and the time for Vout to transit from 90%−10%VDD .
