Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A PMOS transistor is connected in a CMOS inverter, with a threshold voltage of -2V. If the gate-source voltage is -3V and VDS is sufficient to ensure saturation, what will be the state of the PMOS transistor?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Investigate the state of the PMOS concerning VGS and Vth.

Question 2

If a PMOS transistor's drain current is calculated using ID = 1/2 Kp (VSG - |Vth|)^2 (1 + Ξ»VDS), how would increasing VDS impact the current assuming Ξ» is significant?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on how the parameter Ξ» interacts with VDS in the equation.
