For the circuit shown in Figure 2, VDD = 5 V, and transistors M1 and M2 have properties µnCox = 200µA/V2, (W/L) = 10, Vt0 = 0.7 V, and λ = 0. You may neglect the body effect below, unless you are specifically asked to consider it. Figure 2. Circuit for Problem 2. a) Draw the circuit above, and label the drain, gate, source, and bulk nodes for both transistors, using labels VD1, VG1, VS1, and VB1 for the drain, gate, source, and bulk nodes of device M1, respectively, and similarly for M2. In total, there should be 8 labels in your schematic. For this part, assume the transistors are in saturation. b) Determine the valid input range for the circuit under consideration; that is, determine the range on the input voltage Vin such that transistors M1 and M2 are operating in the saturation region. Note that, in your analysis, you are not constrained to Vin values between 0 V and VDD, inclusive; e.g., if Vin = 100 V keeps both of the transistors in saturation, then Vin = 100 V should be included in your range of valid input voltages. Your answer to this part should take the form Vin,low ≤ Vin ≤ Vin,high ; hopefully, it is obvious that you are being asked to provide numerical answers for the lower- and upper-bounds Vin,low and Vin,high , respectively. c) For the valid input range that you determined in part (b), determine the corresponding output voltage range; that is, determine Vout,low ≤ Vout ≤ Vout,high when the input is constrained to Vin,low ≤ Vin ≤ Vin,high. . As before, you should report numerical values for the lower- and upper-bounds Vout,low and Vout,high, , respectively. d) Determine the "on voltage" VON2 (or, as in the Sedra/Smith textbook, the "overdrive voltage") and drain current ID2 of transistor M2 over the range of valid input voltages. Also, determine the drain current ID1 of M1 over the valid input range. e) If you were to consider it, would any of the transistors in the circuit above be affected by the body effect? If "yes," then list the device (or, devices, as the case may be). Qualitatively speaking, how would your answers to parts (b) and (c) change if you were to take the body effect into account? Explain your reasoning.

Definite integrals are useful to science because we can often describe natural phenomena using definite integrals. However, integrating functions arising in real-life science can be rather challenging. In this exercise, we see how having only the graph of some functions is enough to answer some questions in science. The physical interpretation of an integral is a prerequisite knowledge you learned in MATH 1013. For a refresher, see the Net Change Theorem in Section 5.4 of the textbook. A group of researchers studies the population of arctic foxes in Northern Canada. Initially, the researchers identified a population of 1,000 arctic foxes. Due to various factors, the population of arctic foxes changes over time. The graph of the birthrate B(t) and the death rate D(t), for the population, are shown below. Time t is measured in years. (1) In a sentence or two, describe the meaning of the function f(t) = t 0 B(x) - D(x)dx in the context of this problem. (2) According the graph, is there a time t between 0 and 20 at which the population is equal to the initial population? If so, provide a rough estimate of this time, and write one or two sentences explaining how you found it. Your estimate should be a single number, not an interval. (3) Recall from Quiz 1 the definition of the average value of a function f(x). The average value of a function f(x) over an interval [a, b] is denoted by favg and is defined to be favg = 1 b - a b a f(x)dx. Suppose you know that the average birth rate over the first 20 years is 90 arctic foxes per year and the average death rate over the first 20 years is 100 arctic foxes per year. What is the population of the arctic foxes at t = 20 ? Show your work.
