  1. In the following circuit: a) Find the time needed for the output to change from a high state to 0.9 V O H . V D D = 5 V , ( W / L ) N = 5 ,
( W / L ) P = 2.5 , L N = L P = 1 μ m , k N = k P = 20 μ A / V 2 , V T N = 1 V , V T P = 1 V , and C L = 1 p F .
b) Find the propagation delay time. c) What should you do to reduce this time delay?
t P H L = [ 2 V T N k N ( V D D V T N ) 2 + 1 k N ( V D D V T N ) ln ( 1.5 V D D 2 V T N 0.5 V D D ) ] C L t P L H = [ 2 V T P k P ( V D D + V T P ) 2 + 1 k P ( V D D + V T P ) ln ( 1.5 V D D + 2 V T P 0.5 V D D ) ] C L
