Consider the circuit as shown below, assume that all inputs are 0 during the pre-charge phase and all the internal nodes are initially 0V. Suppose all the nMOS transistors have the same Vtn0 = 0.45V. CA = 50fF, CB = 10fF, Cc = 15fF, and CCLK = 5fF. Ignore the body effect and calculate the voltage drop on Vo, if
(a) Only C changes to 1 (VDD=5.0) during the evaluate phase.
(b) Only A changes to 1 (VDD=5.0) during the evaluate phase.
(c) Both A and B change to 1 (VDD=4.8V) during the evaluate phase (C remains off).
(d) All A, B, and C change to 1 (VDD=3.3V) during the evaluate phase.
