Figure 3 shows an amplifier with a current mirror as an active load. The MOSFETs have the following parameters: Vtn = −Vtp = 0.6 V, kn′ = 200 μA/V2, kp′ = 65 μA/V2, VA(NMOS) = 20 V, VA(PMOS) = 10 V, VT = 26 mV, R1 = 7 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ, L = 0.4 μm and W = 4 μm. The base-emitter forward voltage, VBE, of transistor Q4 is 0.7 V. The forward voltage drop for both D1 and D2 is 0.7 V. The supply voltage, VDD = 3 V. Assume the base current of Q4 is negligible compared to the emitter and collector currents of Q4, with all the transistors biased in the active region.

Q1. Consider the CMOS inverter of which the transistors have the following parameters: μnCox = 4μpCox = 160 μA/V2, ∣γ| = 0.5 V1/2, 2Φf = 0.5 V, λ = 0.001 V−1, Vtno = 0.6 V, Vtpo = −0.8 V, (W/L)n = 1 and (W/L)p = 4. The supply voltage VDD = 3.3 V. The capacitive load at the output node is 20 pF. The input voltage Vin is expected to be a perfect periodic square wave with full swing (low level : 0 V, high level: VDD). (a) Calculate tl, the time required for the output voltage Vout to change from 0 V to the threshold voltage of the inverter, using the average-current method. (b) Write the expression of calculation of t2, the time required for the output voltage Vout to change from 2.9 V to the 0.4 V, using the analytical method (integral). Then calculate t2 using the average-current method. (c) Determine the maximum frequency of the periodic square wave input so that the output signal will have a full swing in each cycle. (d) Calculate the peak value of in, the NMOS transistor current, during the transition, and its average value over a clock cycle T. (The average value here is not the same as the average-current in the "average-current method" for delay estimation) (e) If the capacitive load is now changed to be 250 pF, what can be done to make tl and t2 unchanged?

The supply voltage VDD = 3.3 V. The capacitive load at the output node is 20 pF. The input voltage Vin is expected to be a perfect periodic square wave with full swing (low level : 0 V, high level: VDD). (a) Determine (W/L)n so that the low voltage level of the output signal Vo will not higher than 0.4 V. (b) Based on the result of (a), calculate the static current of the circuit when Vi = VDD.
