Consider the circuit shown below. Assume that both of the transistors are matched, meaning: 1) Kn is the same for both devices M1 and M2, and is equal to 1 mA/V2; 2)VT = 0.5 V for both M1 and M2. Recall that K = Kn(W/L), where W is the length and L is the width of the MOSFET. Further assume that VDD = 3 V and VO is large enough that M2 operates in the saturation regime. a. In what mode does M1 operate and why? b. Find the relationship between IO and IREF in terms of the MOSFET parameters. c. Find VGS if IREF = 10 mA, WI = 10 μm, and LI = 1 μm. d. Find IO under the conditions in part (c) if W2 = 20 μm and L2 = 1 μm. e. What is the minimum value for VO to ensure M2 is in saturation under the conditions of part (d)?
