Design Problems 1. [M, SPICE, 3.3.2] The layout of a static CMOS inverter is given in Figure 5.1. (λ = 0.125 µm). a. Determine the sizes of the NMOS and PMOS transistors. Solution The sizes are wn=1.0µm, ln=0.25µm, wp=0.5µm, and lp=0.25 µm. b. Plot the VTC (using HSPICE) and derive its parameters (VOH, VOL, VM, VIH, and VIL). Solution The inverter VTC is shown below. For a static CMOS inverter with a supply voltage of 2.5 V, VOH =2.5 V and VOL=0 V. In order to calculate Vm , note from the VTC that the
