Consider a standard CMOS inverter with QN and QP matched and with the input vi rising slowly from 0 to VDD. At what value of vi does the current flowing through QN and QP reach its peak? Give an expression for the peak current, neglecting λn and λp. For kn’ = 500 μA/V2, (W/L)n = 1.5, VDD = 1.3 V, and Vtn = 0.4 V, find the value of the peak current. (Hint: Max current is during switching when for a brief moment, both transistors are in the saturation mode and "half on").

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?

An NMOS amplifier is shown in Figure 1. Transistor M1 is biased in the saturation region for an amplifier application. The circuit is biased with a resistive voltage divider consisting of R1 and R2, a source degeneration resistor RS, and a load resistor RD. The drain bias current for the design is ID = 500 μA and VDS is 1.625 V. The device parameters are: L = 0.5 μm, W = 10 μm, kn’ = 200 μA/V2, Vtn = 0.5 V, and λn = 0. analyze the frequency response of the amplifier. a) Draw a midband small signal ac equivalent circuit model for the amplifier. For midband you can assume the reactance of Cin is sufficiently low that it is a short circuit. b) Derive an expression for the midband voltage gain transfer function Vout /Vsig. The amplified output signal is taken from the drain terminal and Vout = Vd. Write your gain function in terms of variables only. c) Evaluate the midband gain and calculate a value both in V/V and dB. d) Analyze the frequency response of the input network including the capacitor Cin. Find an expression for the transfer function H1(jω) = Vg/Vsig. e) Evaluate H1(jω) = Vg/Vsig and make a Bode plot of the magnitude of H1(jω). The x-axis is ω (log scale) and the y-axis is the magnitude in dB. f) Use the LTSPICE circuit template and verify the frequency response of the amplifier circuit. Include a copy of the schematic and the frequency response plot. Use 20 points per decade and a frequency span of 0.1 Hz to 100 Hz.
