Problem 2: Consider the following NMOS inverter. Assume that the input IN has a 0 V to 2.5 V swing. Assume VT0 = (0.43 + X/100)V, where X is the last digit of your ID. Ignore channel length modulation. Ignore body effects. a) Find the voltage on node x. b) What is the range for VOUT as IN varies from 0 to 2.5. What is the mode of operation of M2 over that range. Use long channel regions to get a good guess?

Assume that the input IN has a 0 V to 2.5 V swing. a. Device M2 has its gate terminal connected to its source terminal. If VIN = 0 V, what is the output voltage?

Consider the low swing driver of Figure 1 , and assume that Vn0 = 0.4 V, Vtp0 = −0.5 V. a. What is the voltage swing on the output node (Vout ) ? Assume y = 0. b. Estimate (i) the energy drawn from the supply and (ii) energy dissipated for a 0 V to 2.5 V transition at the input. Assume that the rise and fall times at the input are 0 . Repeat the analysis for a 2.5 V to 0 V transition at the input. c. Compute tpLH (i. e. the time to transition from VOL to (VOH+VOL)/2). Assume the input rise time to be 0. VOL is the output voltage with the input at 0 V and VOH is the output voltage with the input at 2.5 V. Assume that Kn′ = 100 uA/V2. d. Compute VOH taking into account body effect.

Consider MOSFET-based current source circuits shown below. Assume that the n-type MOSFET transistors follow the long-channel model with μnCox = 100 μA/V2 and Vth,n = 0.5 V. All the transistors have a fixed channel length L = 0.25 μm. The bias voltage VB1 is at 0.8 V. Assume that all transistors have no back-bias effect. (1) (2) (a) For a basic current source in Fig. (1), size the NMOS transistor M1's width ( = W1) so that it conducts a current of 1 mA when it operates in saturation region. You may assume λn = 0. (b) What is the minimum value of Vout for this circuit that keeps M1 in saturation region? (c) For a cascode current source in Fig. (2), assume that the transistor M2 has the same width with M1 you determined from part (a). Determine the value of VB2 that yields the lowest minimum VOUT keeping both M1 and M2 in saturation regions. (d) Now, let's assume that the transistors M1 and M2 have a finite output resistance with λn = 0.1 V−1. Compute the value of the output resistance (Rout) of this cascode current source when M1 and M2 are in the saturation region. (Hint: Calculate the output impedance in a small signal equivalent circuit.)
