Design a 2-input CMOS Schmitt NOR gate (Draw the designed circuit and show all MOSFET sizes) that satisfies the following requirements:
  1. Input down trip voltage is equal to 2 / 3 V D D and input up trip is equal to 1 / 3 V D D
  2. Minimum input gate capacitance for each input
  3. Output drive strength is equal to a symmetrical inverter with W N / L N = 4 μ m / 2 μ m
  4. The design should yield a reasonable propagation delay
Use channel lengths of 2 μ m for all MOSFETs. Assume K X = 40 μ A / V 2 , K P = 16 μ A / V 2 , V T N = 1 V , V T P = 1 V , and V D D = 5 V .
