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?
