A discrete-circuit source follower driven with Rsig = 100 kΩ has Cgs = 10 pF, Cgd = 1 pF, CL = 10 pF, gmb = 0, and ro very large. The transfer function of the source follower is measured as RL is varied. At what value of RL will the transfer function be maximally flat? At this value of RL the dc gain is found to be 0.9 V/V. What is the 3-dB frequency? What is the value of gm at which the source follower is operating?

P R O B LEM 6.3 Consider a family of logic gates that operate under the static discipline with the following voltage thresholds: VOL = 1 V, VIL = 1.3 V, VOH = 4 V, and VIH = 3 V. Consider the N-input NAND gate design shown in Figure 6.63 . In the design R = 100 k and RON for the MOSFETs is given to be 1 k. VT for the MOSFETs is 1.5 V. What is the maximum value of N for which the NAND gate will satisfy the static discipline? What is the maximum power dissipated by the NAND gate for this value of N ? FIGURE 6.63
