Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the W/L ratios of nMOS = 1µm/0.18µm and pMOS = 2µm/0.18µm, calculate the current driving capability of each transistor assuming they operate in saturation.

💡 Hint: Use the respective W/L ratios and appropriate parameters for calculation.

Question 2

If the W/L ratio of nMOS is decreased while keeping the pMOS constant, predict how Vth will be affected and explain your reasoning.

💡 Hint: Think about the implications of weakened drive strength on the characteristics.
