Digital medical thermometers determine temperature by measuring the resistance of a semiconductor device called a thermistor (which has a = -0.06/∘C) when it is at the same temperature as the patient. What is a patient's temperature if the thermistor's resistance at that temperature is 82.0% of its value at 37∘C (normal body temperature)? 60 celsius 80 celsius 40 celsius 50 celsius

Consider a DRAM cell that uses an internal capacitor of 20 fF; it is charged to 3.3 V when storing a ' 1 '. In this problem, ignore body effect. (A real transistor like the access transistor here, or pass transistors in switch logic, can turn off before you want it to because of body effect; this one stays on until the 20 fF capacitor is fully charged. ) (6-points) (a) When writing a ' 1 ', how long does it take for the voltage on the capacitor to rise to 95% of its final value? Assume that when it is on, the access transistor in the cell has an average resistance of 6 kΩ; assume that the inverter driving the bit line has an average pull-up resistance of 1 kΩ. Ignore the resistance and capacitance of the bit line itself. (In a real memory, wire parasitics play a big role!)? (b) Suppose that when reading, the bit line is first charged to 3.3 V. The bit line is a large piece of metal, and has a total capacitance of 500 fF. How far does the bit line drop in voltage if a ' 0 ' is read? (Hint: In circuits, you learned that charge on capacitors in parallel redistributes until the voltage is equal; assume enough time is given for the bit line to drop as far as it ever will. )? (c) Suppose that the leakage current from the cell, due to the reverse-biased diode and subthreshold MOSFET currents, is no more than 2 pA. If a signal loss on the capacitor of 0.5 V can be tolerated, how often must the DRAM cell be refreshed to ensure that no data is lost?

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.)

A bar with a length of L = 0.50 m slide without friction on horizontal rails, as shown in Figure 1. There is a uniform magnetic field of B = 2.0 T directed into the plane. At one end of the rails, there is a battery with an emf of ε = 15 V and a switch. The bar has a mass of 0.90 kg and a resistance of 5.0 Ω, while any other resistance in the circuit is negligible. The switch is closed at t = 0. Figure 1 (a) Plot the speed of the bar as a function of time. (b) What is the acceleration of the bar immediately after the switch is closed? (c) What is the acceleration of the bar when its speed reaches 2.0 m/s? (d) What is the terminal speed of the bar?
