Question 1

What is the primary function of the nMOS in a CMOS inverter?

  • Pull-up the voltage
  • Pull-down the voltage
  • Block the current

💡 Hint: Think of its role in maintaining low output.

Question 2

Is the W/L ratio important for determining the current driving capability of MOSFETs?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider what happens if we increase the width while keeping length constant.
