The circuit at right is known as a "pseudo-NMOS" inverter. (Note that is very similar to CMOS except that the PMOS gate voltage is fixed at -VDD) In the circuit, the NMOS has VTN = 1 V and KN = 0.5 mA/V2. The PMOS has VTP = -1 V and Kp = 0.1 mA/V2. Calculate the output voltage and total power being dissipated in the circuit for Vi, = 0.5 V, 2.5 V, and 5 V.

In the dynamic logic circuit shown below, all the transistors have the minimum channel length, and their sizes (widths) are marked. The inverter at the output is a standard static CMOS inverter with a PMOS size of 2 and an NMOS size of 1 . For a unit-sized NMOS or PMOS transistor, the intrinsic capacitance at its drain or source terminal is CD, and the capacitance at its gate is CG. For unit-sized NMOS and PMOS transistors, their onresistances are RN and RP, respectively. CD = CG = 1 fF and RP = 2 RN = 2 kΩ. (a) Express y as a Boolean function of the inputs A, B, C and D in the evaluation phase (CLK = 1). (b) Find the capacitances at nodes y, a, b and c, respectively. (c) Let A = B = D = 1 and C = 0 and suppose nodes a, b and c are at 0 V in the pre-charge phase (CLK = 0). Estimate the time it takes for the voltage at y to decrease from VDD to VDD/2 in the evaluation phase. (d) Repeat (c) if nodes a, b and c are at VDD in the pre-charge phase. (e) If the inputs are C = 1 and A = B = D = 0 and suppose nodes a, b and c are at 0 V in the pre-charge phase. Considering the charge sharing effect, what is the voltage at node y in the evaluation phase? It is known VDD = 2.5 V, VTN = 0.5 V and the body effect of the transistors can be ignored.

Consider the circuit configuration shown below, which is commonly used for measuring n-channel MOSFET parameters. The transistor's length and width are 1 μm. The accompanying graph plots the transistor's square root of drain current vs. gate voltage, VG. a) Estimate the threshold voltage of the n-channel MOSFET. b) When VG is between 1.5 V and 2.5 V, in what region is the device operating? Consider the p-channel MOSFET amplifier given to the right. ID = 12 kp(VSG − |Vtp|)2, VDD = 5 V, RL = 2 kΩ, kp = 1 mA/V2, Vtp = −1 V c) Derive an expression for the transistor bias point, VGQ, as a function of VDD, Ra, and Rb. d) Determine the required ratio Ra/Rb such that the MOSFET current, ID = 0.5 mA e) What is the voltage bias point of the output VoutQ? Use the value(s) from part d. Please show all steps. A_ = 0.5 VB = Saturation C = VoD(Rb/(Ra+Rb))D = Ra/Rb = 2/3 E = 1 V)
