Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a CMOS inverter with Vth = VDD/2. What W/L ratios would you use for nMOS and pMOS? Explain why.

💡 Hint: Consider the impact of strength differences on stability and performance.

Question 2

If the Vth of an inverter changes due to fabrication variances, how could this affect circuit operation?

💡 Hint: Think about how misinterpretation of logic states can occur with varying thresholds.
