Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Evaluate the impact of a reduction in channel length and width by 10% on a hypothetical CMOS amplifier's gain. What steps would you recommend for optimization?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on how changes in geometry affect performance.

Question 2

A system uses multiple transistors with varying channel lengths. Calculate how a mismatch of 5% in lengths affects the overall current output if the design relies on consistent current.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how small variations amplify through the circuit.
