Consider a pseudo-NMOS inverter as shown in Fig. 16.21 and fabricated in a 65-nm CMOS technology for which VDD = 1.0 V, IVt| = 0.35 V, kn/kp = 5.4, and kn = 540 uA/V2.
(a) Find VOH.
(b) Derive an equation for VOL that is a function of VDD, Vt, and kn/kp.
(c) Evaluate the equation using the process parameters in the problem statement.
